Just rename "Video" subfolder to "_Video" and see if it works.
Usually it's cause by a broken Windows MCI on your system caused by codec packs, specially K-Lite.

If it didn't worked only with "Video" I was going to say to try with "Audio".
Your Windows MCI is broken.
Could you please take a look at this Troubleshooting section in Slitherine forum:

In the section, "CTD, freezes, no sound or game not starting", you've different approaches to the problem.
Like I've said, most of times the cause it's a codec pack which broke the MCI.
