cutscenes not playing with LAV Filters
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Darksiders
I don't have this game to test but you could try the K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool to see if it can detect the problem and overrule the LAV Filters for the format Darksiders relies on.
Failing that another option would be to use use a third-party player that has the LAV Filters built in (e.g. MPC-HC); this way you can access files in those formats without having it affecting the system codecs.
