Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge movie playback issue

Hello, I recently bought the C&C collection and was hoping to relive my childhood with some Red Alert 2 and Yuri's revenge, but while the game runs fine I have a problem with the FMV playback as they play slowly, very choppy and the audio keeps stuttering (this includes the movies that play during missions in the upper right corner). Any help would be appreciated. I already tried changing compatibility setting to Windows XP SP3 and running as admin. 

I run windows 7 with an AMD A8-7600 processor and Geforce GTX 750 Ti which although old by this point I think should be able to run a 20 year old game properly.

    @zuberty2 Make sure to update your graphics drivers. Also make sure to set in the NVidia Control Panel that the game should run on your NVidia Graphics Card instead of the crappy Radeon R7 graphics-chip on your processor. Does that help?

    Did you install any modifications/mods for the game or edit any RA2.ini settings?

    Thanks, I did update the drivers but after searching a bit harder found out there was an even newer version of the driver. After updating it to that the issue was resolved. Much appreciated!

    @zuberty2 Nice, always just use the official AMD, Nvidia or Intel website/software to update your graphics drivers instead of unofficial sites or crappy programs. I'm happy to be of help to you.
