Apart from the very beginning I am getting no cut scenes at the ends or starts of any level is this correct?
on the final level I operate the lever and go through the door and am immediately confronted by the last boss after I dispose of him I wander about a bit then the credits start this has happened previously in the game I finish a level wait a while as there seems nothing else to do and all of a sudden I am on the next level but it seems there should have been something in between.
I've looked in the game folder in the program file and there are no separate movie files although I realise this does not mean there are no movies in the game as I get one at the start.
Is anyone able to advise me on this please, am I missing cut scenes and how can I get them to work.
I am running Vista 32bit Nvidia graphics card.

Thank you

Don

You are missing them, a list of them with youtube links can be found here.

As for getting them to work. I'm not too sure, you could try running the game under compatibility mode. Also if the game is like the other build engine games there will be a setup.exe file you can tweak settings with within the games folder.

No, it's wrong (though no fault on GOG's part), that is because blood.ini is screwed, but it can be fixed, at least on a regular version, I'm not sure about the GOG one, but I believe it should be fine.
Open the file (blood.ini) with a text editor and look for the episode headers, for example:

[Episode1]
; location of movies was set at install
CutSceneA=D:\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=D:\movie\cs1822m.wav
CutSceneB=D:\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=D:\movie\cs2822m.wav
Title = The Way of All Flesh

Add a line after the title line that reads:
CutSceneBLevel=7

That's the cutscene for episode 1, the ones for the other episodes follow:

[Episode2]
CutSceneBLevel=8

[Episode3]
CutSceneBLevel=7

[Episode4]
CutSceneALevel=8
CutSceneBLevel=8

Why two lines? CutSceneA plays at the start of the level, CutSceneB plays at the end; CutSceneA should be there already.

Editing this file has an interesting side effect too: since Blood has no option to see the movies you've already played, you can change the episode 1 cutscenea and watch them all editing, starting the game, entering the episode and recycling the process for each, of course you must change the associated audio too.
re-post, sorry.

It should be in your Blood installation folder (ie. Program Files\GoG.com\One Unit Whole Blood\blood.ini)

Apologies, I forgot there was more than one version of Blood, my question / problem refers to Blood 2
You have to play the game as Caleb to see the cut scenes. If you select "Chosen" (and even then Caleb) you won't see any.
i need help. ive been trying for days now to get these cutscenes to run, it just goes from monolith to blood to title screen.

You have your CutScene lines commented out with the semi-colon ( ; ).

You say you copied your movies into a movie directory in Blood, so change your Blood.ini file so it reads:

CutSceneA=C:\Blood\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=C:\Blood\movie\cs1822m.wav
CutSceneB=C:\Blood\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=C:\Blood\movie\cs2822m.wav

The rest of the smk and wav files follow in order, so Episode2 has cs3.smk and cs3822m.wav.
