do you want ton use this in an rf project or a from-scratch program?
rf: look up an entity in the manual, i believe 'cutscene'
directx:

ut2004 does use directx (and on platforms other than windows opengl), but i dont believe they allow access to the ability to add c++ code to the engine, i believe iots all done through unrealscript. ut2004 does not need avi's, since all it's cutscenes are real-time using their matinee system; that could pose na problem for you. is there no way to convert bthe movie (whatever it is) to a real-time one in ut2004? its going to likely be difficult to impossible to play an avi, to my knowledge (which, though I own ut2004, isnt as much as some, so i could be wrong)
the place to go with this is
http://www.3dbuzz.com and post on their ut2004 forums, its a very helpful (and knowledgeable with ut2004 and many other games/game development and art related programs) community.
