As the title says, the intro for the first episode and every outro video for each episode isn't playing for me.
Here's what I've done.

I've removed the entire content of the DOSBox folder and instead put DAUM's DOSBox in there.
Removed the DEMO files so that I don't have to see them when starting the game, and removed that god awful CD soundtrack.
Then I tweaked the DOSBoxBlood.conf a little bit, like changing fullresolution, vmemsize and memsize.
I've also changed the mididevice and midiconfig in the MIDI section of the CONF.
I haven't touched the DOSBoxBlood_Single.conf at all, just added the bmouse command line.

Any ideas?

The cut-scenes for an episode are defined in the *.ini files. Blood.ini for Blood and Cryptic.ini for Cryptic Passage.
For instance:
[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
...
So we can see that Blood will look for videos in the D:\movie which will be on the virtual CD DOSBox mounts. Because DOSBox handles that part, check your dosboxBlood_single.conf and be sure that DOSBox is mounting CD file.

imgmount D game.ins -t iso
To get rid of the CD audio tracks, you may have changed this to:
imgmount D game.gog -t iso

Either one should mount correctly and provide the source for the video files.

If you have added the -quick switch to Blood.exe, that will tell Blood to skip playing the cut-scenes.

Hopefully that helps.

You rock! I got the cutscenes back by changing to "imgmount D game.gog -t iso" in the _single.conf. :)
