According to my notes in a blog post:

http://games.multimedia.cx/quantum-gate/

the key points are:

* Quantum Gate by Hyperbole Studios
* Greg Roach was in charge
* Website ( http://www.hyperbole.com/ ) has not been updated since 2002

And I should probably mention that I love researching and hacking on
obscure multimedia formats, and documenting them in a wiki, especially
when they come from old FMV-heavy games. I pretty much wrote the book on
the Sega CPK format:

No FMV format is too obscure! :) So if you have any making-of videos
that are encoded in a game's own custom, proprietary format, there is
hope. There are bunch of weirdos like me who enjoy figuring this stuff
out. Here are the game formats we know about (a bunch are supported in
FFmpeg):

And if you know of other formats, do let me know.
