Do you know how to change a file's extension? Just change it to MPQ and follow Purge's suggestion. You are good to go then.

You can use PlayCinematic("WoW") to play it.

I am not sure of how to use this correctly though. Perhaps you can use it at chapter 1's start or something.

Someone more experienced should take over from here. I hate repeating others' words.

PlayCinematic with jass or how D
And I'm use custom script but still ... nothing.. I'm victory and nothing.. normal menu..

The cinematic is played only when you quit the mission or you are victory.

Test struct:

struct Test extends array
    
    static method onEsc takes nothing returns nothing
        call CustomVictoryBJ(Player(0), true, true)
        call PlayCinematic("HumanEd")
    endmethod

    static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(t, Player(0), EVENT_PLAYER_END_CINEMATIC)
        call TriggerAddAction(t, function thistype.onEsc)
        set t = null
    endmethod
    
endstruct

The cinematic is played correctly.

You didn't actually set the file extension. By default, Windows doesn't display extensions for known types (AVI). MPQ is an unknown type (Blizzard's format), so they list that extension. However, yours is still WoW.mpq.avi because I see the AVI icon on it (whereas the MPQ ones show a blank icon).

To show extensions, go to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Folder Options. Click the tab View -> Advanced Settings, and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. Click OK.

Now go back to your WoW.mpq file. It should say WoW.mpq.avi. Rename it to just WoW.mpq.

Now just create a blank trigger and paste this code:

scope Test initializer Init 
    private function Init takes nothing returns nothing 
        call PlayCinematic("WoW")
    endfunction
endscope

It should show the cinematic when you quit the mission.

Work

YEa movie work, but when start video.. screen is black, without sound and when i'm push button to windows , game crash... So?!?!?

You may need to upload the AVI file so I can take a look at it. Put it on pastebin if you can. If not, try opening it with Windows Media Player and check if it has sound/works at all.
