Back in 1997, Age of Empires was shipped with some video files that sadly weren’t included into Definitive Edition since the RAW files are lost.
 
If you’re in for a nostalgic trip, I’ve probably got the right thing for you: I bundled all videos together into a .rar-file and uploaded them for you to use it 🙂
 
 
These are the original files that are inside the Age of Empires\avi folder so you might need to convert them to .mp4 to make them work for DE.
 
 

Contains:

– LOGO1.avi (Microsoft logo that was used on AoE 1, AoE 2, Flight Simulator 98 and various other games)
 
– LOGO2.avi (Ensemble Studios logo)
 
– INTRO.avi (The original intro)
 
– INTROX.avi (Rise of Rome intro)
 
– 8 campaign videos (BAB1, BAB2, EGYP1, EGYP2, GREEK1, GREEK2, YAMA1, YAMA2)
 
 
 

How to implement the files + location of DE’s videos

– Locate DE’s video folder (see below)
 
– Convert files (if .avi-format doesn’t work)
 
– Paste them into DE’s video folder and rename them (make sure to backup files)
 
 
DE’s videos are located inside AoEDE\Assets\Video and contain the following files:
 
– FE Splash_4K.mp4 (Forgotten Empires intro)
 
– intro.mp4 (DE’s intro)
 
– Microsoft_Studios.mp4 (the new Microsoft intro)
 
 
Note: I sadly haven’t found the right location for campaign videos yet so you have to figure that out yourself.
