I think hell have to install the game for that. Film viewer uses the textures, skins and stuff from the game to play the films, it doesnt work without the raw files from game.
Hell also need the terrains the films were recorded on. I guess hell have to download game and install it, dont forget to send him the terrains hell need. I think that CPU/vid card specs dont need to be as high for watching the films (compared to decent FR ingame).
Or you can get FRAPS and save your films as avi.
