I just finished Episode 1 and there was no cinematic at the end. Is there supposed to be any kind of cinematic when you finish an episode? Like Duke Nukem or Shadow Warrior, when you finish an episode there would be a cinematic of the protagonist.
This question / problem has been solved by McTecmanimage

Short answer: Yes, there is one.
Long answer: After you kill the boss, there should have been a short video of you and Ophelia. Did you get one when you started the episode?
How are you running the game, via the generated shortcuts? Do you get CD audio music? The video files are inside the game.gog image file that DOSBox loads, so check if that loads properly (a text string of "imgmount D game.inst -t iso" under the autoexec section on the bottom of the "dosboxBlood.conf" file).

I had the exact same problem when I installed the game on my OSX partition through Boxer. Game ran fine, but cinematics were missing.
I played it on my Windows partition and the cinematics were there, however.

I got the one at the beginning, where they take Ophelia and Caleb away but I did not get the one at the end, I got the credits instead. I found that line under the autoexec as you mentioned.
I'm running the game via the shortcuts given by the installation.
EDIT:
So I did the following because of the gog image advice McTecman gave me:
If I put games music files(I removed them to hear the midi music, I like midi many people do too, I think) back in I get the cinematic If I remove the music(.ogg files) I don't get the cinematic.

You can set it up so you can have the cinematics and midis, but it's kind of tricky:
First you need to rename game.gog into game.iso. Then mount it in a program like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%.
You'll immediately see that there is a /movie/ folder on the CD image. Copy that folder containing all the movie and audio files to wherever you installed Blood. It should be ...Blood/Movies/
Now open a file balled Blood.ini inside the Blood installation directory. Before changing anything, MAKE A BACK UP OF THIS FILE.
Then go over the file and look for all instances where you have lines that start with CutScene<letter> and CutWave<letter>, and change them from:
CutSceneA=D:\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=D:\movie\cs1822m.wav
CutScene=D:\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=D:\movie\cs2822m.wav
to:
CutSceneA=movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=movie\cs1822m.wav
CutScene=movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=movie\cs2822m.wav
(note how it doesn't load from D: (the mounted image), but instead loads from the folder /movie/. There's movies for episodes 1-4, if that will help. :)
