Okay, The last time have I spent on trying to get custom ingame movies without replacing any files. I know that no one have done it before but I just wanted to try. I came so far that the game is loading my movie (at least think so) but then it chrashes. Here's the errors:
I'm not asking for a sulotion, I'm only asking what this errors means.

EDIT: Also found this:

The movies were not released with the modtools.

Yep. But...are custom movies possible?

Short story: Yes, but they currently overwrite stock movies.

Ah, thank you for the explanaition, Mav! I'm afraid explanaitions spawn more questions, though. Normally I refrain from posting those leads, but this time I'll let one slip through, only because it is a simple yes-no. Does that break online compatability?

But in Custom Movies REsearch in the FAQ, Zerted wrote:

What We Can Do So Far:
-Replace the retail ingame.mvs with one containing your custom moive. Note, this will remove all the retail movies and is not shippable with your mod map.
-Play any custom movie in the shell from any file through a modified shell

So what's going on?

The v1.3 patch allows you to add custom movies to your map. However, it only displays them in the map selection screen (i.e. in the shell instead of in the game).

The code that displays the inshell movies gives those RedMemory errors when used in a normal game. I don't know it if will work inside a cGC, since those maps are loaded slightly differently.

There is a movie research topic somewhere on GT that has almost all the the custom movie info, as well as the basic changes needed inorder for the shell to display the map's custom movies. The exact code for the inshell movie playing was in the v1.3 patch's source, but I lost that...

The error message is saying some internal data structure in the game is trying to get memory but is failing to do so. I forget exactly what the problem is for the 'does not exist' message, but I've gotten it a bunch of times and it can be fixed. I believe it deals with what lvl it is loading to read the movies from and how the movie was munged into that lvl. It is that or you forgot some lines in the movie config files (or both).

Ooooohh. The selection screen. I see.

As you know I've been trying to get a custom ingame movie (as in campaign) to work without replacing any files. I've failed, so now I'm going to leave this movie stuff.
At last, this was what I ended up with:
This is what my errorlog says: and at the end: My video was named lopmon01 and the file was named ingama.mvs
I tryed to call it into the game with this lua codes:
ReadDataFile("dc:movies\\ingama.mvs")
ScriptCB_PlayInGameMovie("dc:movies\\ingama.mvs","lopmon01")

Also edited ingame_movies.mcfg in C:\BF2_ModTools\data_TES\Common\mission
to look like : (a part of it) Also note that when I removed the movie file from addon I got this:
