Why don't developers make feature fillms in FMV?

I was confused too.
FMV, or Full Motion Video, was the name given to the video used in games when CD-ROM came out. Real actors, just basically recorded video, like in a feature film.
If you mean, like the poster above, digital films like Final Fantasy, go check out the trailer for Beowolf!
Wow!
V1N.

Wow, two errors in one day by me? lol
Well, certainly years ago, back in my day
FMV meant Full Motion Video, which was not CGI, it was recordings, such as cutscenes in Command and Conquer games, and Wing Commander (starring Luke Skywalker!) V1N.

"!=" means not equal. Sorry, as a programmer it's habit to use those symbols to denote "not equal".

Only let down by the awful voice acting, I reckon Sean Bean was originally cast as Beowulf but dropped out, that's why Beowulf looks a bit like him and not Ray Winstone

Fmv is prerendered and not using the game engine.
Do you mean FMV or cutscene?

Still an error by me then
An error that I thought I'd made an error!
Ah well, it's a Lazy Sunday

P.S. and I thought (years ago since I did any programming at all) that not equal to was <> ? Just trying to remember back, through the years, = was of course equals, => greater than or equal to, <= less than or equal to <> not equal to?
I'm not sure but in Java, C, C++ and Haskell "!=" is used.
"=" is assign and "==" is to test if something is equal
Phew, Java certainly, is too new for my brain
I remember using "Turbo Basic" in the 80s on the PC, and we were impressed 'cos it had it's own built in compiler, and made it fast as hell! lol.
That was back on our CGA machines... I remember our first 286, had a "Turbo" button which made it run at 12Mhz... We were stunned!
In fact, totally OT now sorry, but I just remembered I went to set up a network for a company, and they got a brand new server, £2.5k 386 SX20.
Yep, 20Mhz CPU, and an AMAZING 40mb HDD.
I called some colleagues around, to show them... as when I typed DIR, and I quote "it goes so fast, you can hardly read it as it goes up the screen"
Ahh, MS-DOS 3.3, how the world has changed.
Sorry, back on topic.... so, just what did the OP mean?
