Reasons for black screen:
- missing video codecs (install K-Lite codec pack)
- outdated gpu driver
- game has no permission to access video files (happens sometimes when the game is stored on an external HDD)
- GPU can't access video files (maybe your system tries to use a disables graphic card (on-board card) or simply fail to switch between different cards.) => Make sure Windows always use the better card.

Do you play the original or the compressed version? Check the www folder and try to play the videos from there.

That's a start. Can you tell us which file(s) you can't view? Just name a few.

Looks like your download or extraction tool corrupted the video files on your system.
Unable to read files from a fresh folder would mean the zip is corrupted or you failed at unzipping it (really doubt the zip link is corrupted, so it seems your PC is at fault). Try disabling any and all anti-virus or whitelist the zip/folder before extracting it, update/switch to 7zip and try again, make sure to unzip it somewhere else and not on top of any other game folder you already have

There should not be such things as 0 bits size files... This happens with some extractors > solution update it ! The extracted file size should be around 6.5 GB ( for instance I ran into trouble with unzip 6.00 )

I correct myself it should be around 6.8 - 6.9 GB No real need for redownload ( if you still have the archive ) just use another extractor that can handle it ! ;)
