Does this fix enable the cutscenes which gog disabled with their patch?

GOG edition issues
On September 7th 2010, GOG.com released a Windows Vista and 7 compatible version of Mask of Eternity for purchase. Note there are still buggy aspects such as the game title not showing on the menu screen, and some of the lockup issues.
But another problem the previous 'updated installer' contained an outdated version of Nglide that has a memory leak, and runs rather slow 3dFX support in this game (Zeckensacks and DJVoodoo2 are more reliable with this game). It causes a number of other issues including the intro cutscene being disabled. Newer installers included an updated version of Nglide that has improved compatiblity with the game.
However, the newest installer includes a new problem, in which the introduction movie and other cutscenes (flight to realm of the sun, and ending) has been disabled, making for a rather incomplete version of the game.
A number of fixes must be made to fix the video playsupport including using a different program than nglide (as it renders videos inccorectly), and registering indeo codec.
