If you wish to use bink videos, you should consider using the orange box engine. The Source SDK Base for the Orange Box is available to everyone who owns a Source Game and has all the HL2 content, so you should consider using that. Porting to the OB Engine will take some time, but it's really worth it, HDR, Particles and much more.
