Beta Cutscenes & Cut missions!

This isn't a great discovery and might even be well known, but I haven't seen it mentioned here before:
The folder "Common\fmv" contains all the "cutscenes" from the game (with cutscenes I mean the "talking heads" videos you see in missions), however, some of them appear to be from the beta! A few of them have strange text-to-speech voices or cheap placeholder voice acting by the devs. Tanner even has a different head in some of them!
You can also see missions that were cut or changed, like a mission where you need to keep a tanker at a steady speed and one where you drive a firetruck. Both may have been part of the same mission and have been recycled. There is also an additional Ambulance mission.
All files are .bik, so you can open them with RAD Video Tools. I might make a video about them if anyone wants.

Would be cool to see someone uploading them, I'm really curious.

I just need someone to supply me with a good, free video editing program because Camtasia makes me sick.

Hate to say it, but this is old. Watched these shortly after the PC version of DSF came out. They're all placeholders that date from around the E3 2010 build. I remember Olanov telling me about them on Steam.

That's what I was afraid of. I'd still appreciate it if someone could get me an editing program though...
