    The reason they might not have released movies so far is probably so that they can control the flow of information that much easier. They could've made a divX movie had they wanted to.

    probably they will make a movie when the test are coming to an end. At the moment, I am sure things change every night so a movie of a game which will be completetly different the next day is of no use...

    eggmac is correct. Nifty tool, though.

    AFAIK Chaos Films (of "Dark Horizons" fame) is doing the movie for 1.1 and they already have some footage just waiting for 1.1 roll out time to come around to drop it on us. the link is: <a href='http://chaosfilms.dodhq.net' target='_blank'>Chaos Films</a> or something like that.

    I'd like a NS Trailer like preview (Done by Def_One no less)

    The trailer ruled!

    After playing with it, I find startmovie is still more handy than that tool. It doesn't compress the movies very well and you have less control.
