Yes, debug.err would be great, and were you able to see the other videos? Perhaps the game is crashing when trying to planet the Binks (for some odd reason).

I can see every video that I "unlocked" so far, like the colonization one.
The debug.err is very long, but i'll post it if it is necessary. I've found this line in the debug.err file anyway
