HELP! Videos messed up.

Hey, I bought the Thief double pack, with T1 and T2 and Thief 1's intro, credits and mission briefings are not working. I've seen several "fixes" but the 2 I have tried have not worked, and one I simply do not understand LOL.
I've tried:
Running Thief as an administrator,
Installing the Indeo codecs,
The .bat file method with notepad.

The method of hitting run then entering your/path/to/thief etc. has bamboozled me, I really do not understand that method AT ALL.
Yeah, I am a bit of a PC noob :P

The game is running perfectly, it's just the videos that are not.

Help - please?

Someone told me to download (http://www.filefront.com/16384349/ddfix-1.4.5-complete.zip) ddfix and it worked like a charm!! I opened the zip file from my desktop, extracted the files to my Theif folder, opened the .exe file (it's a GUI BTW), when the box comes up click the "patch" button, and after that it worked great!

3) Type regsvr32 "c:\your\path\to\thief\LGVID.AX" where c:\your\path\to\thief\ matches your own path.
Where did you install Thief? For me it was C:\Program Files\Thief Gold, so I had to type in:

regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\Thief Gold\LGVID.AX"

When you're done typing it in, run it. After that, you should get a pop-up that says dllregisterserver in module where-ever-you-installed-Thief\LGVID.AX was successful.

Just in case anything you've come across doesn't work, you can try (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=s1U&pwst=1&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&&sa=X&ei=sOgOTNrXI47yMvL3udYM&ved=0CBIQvwUoAQ&q=indeo+codec&spell=1) Googling indeo codec and installing it.

I've got a Vista, and unfortunately... None of the above has worked for me. At the very least VLC can catch the sound, but that's it. Does anyone else have any other fixes, or at least is there somewhere I can download the videos in a format my computer can actually read?
