I don't see any freezes in the FMVs of the intro part, and can hear the sound effect.
Just installed the game, followed the NO-CD instructions, and ran realms.bat.

I just bought a copy off of GOG.COM. FMVs did not play until I ran INSTALL to configure the sound card.

Also, INSTALL.EXE refuses to run if README.TXT doesn't exist, which is the most pedantic thing I've ever seen in a game install program. Just make a dummy README.TXT and it will accept it. You can type "This is a readme file LOL" into a README.TXT and it will accept it.

What I'm saying here is if FMVs do not play, try running INSTALL to reconfigure sound and music configuration.

So, that I mentioned above "Just installed the game" was quite important LOL.

I think the reason it didn't play FMVs until I ran install was that the sound card configuration was incorrect, therefore it couldn't play audio and therefore video.
