In 2006 I made a game with TGF that was meant to be like a Laserdisc game in the style of Mad Dog McCree.. so it contains a lot of movie files and some sort of extension that I don't recall what it was. Anyways.. this game used to work on computers in 2006.. but now when I load it gives me this error:

"the mci device you are using does not support the specified command"

Now the program loads.. shows me the logo I made.. but as soon as it goes into the first video, this error happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? Already tried compatibility mode/running in different windows versions.. and also tried the DirectPlay option in Legacy Mode in Windows..

Would love to get this running if I can. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The videos use the "MPEG-2 Video Extension."

SOLVED! Probably not the best way to do it since the game had 100+ movie files.. but Windows 11 really hates Mpeg-2.. I batch converted all the movies to Mpeg-1 and now it works.
