I found this on the forums today, it's a bit drastic but it should get rid of the movies. You have to revert to be able to patch though .

1) Make sure that the client is fully patched and you get up to the "Play" button. 2) Close the patcher and make a backup of your localconfig.xml file (this is important) 3) Open your LocalConfig.xml file after you have made a back up by right clicking the file, going to "Open With" and selecting notepad or another text editor and delete the line that says:
<HttpPatchFolder> AoCLiveUS </HttpPatchFolder>
After saving, be sure that it still has an ".xml" filetype.
4) From the install directory go into your \cd_image\Movies folder. Delete everything in this folder. 5) Run AgeofConan.exe (not ConanPatcher.exe - this is important)
This should bypass all intro movies for you. Be advised that this will never allow you to patch again and when the next patch occurs you will not be able to log into the game. This is why you backed up your localconfig file. When the next patch comes around replace your modified localconfig file with the one you back up, patch up, then repeat the above steps.
If this works please let me know.
Remember this is only for people that are crashing when the intro movies are playing!
