📋 About This Mod
This video replaces the default map video that plays on the TES IV: Oblivion main menu. The video was created by finding a nice, sceneic spot to film, typing \"TM\" in the console to remove HUD elements, and recorded using Fraps at 1280x800 30fps. The recorded video was edited with VirtualDub 1. 6. 14 and Ulead VideoStudio 9, and encoded using Rad Game Tools (http://www.radgametools.com/default.htm). 1. Backup or rename the original map loop video at C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\Data\\Video\\Map loop.bik. 2. Extract the Map loop.bik in this archive to C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\Data\\Video\\. Start the game and enjoy!
