It's like that because:

1)  It's in RoQ video format, which is the inferior of the two formats the game supports playing (back when it was made it was the only one) - now we can play OGMs.

2) There are some issues with the audio that still need to be fixed in the code for video playback, which has been discussed in several threads but never fully resolved

3) It really is a "placeholder" video which certainly deserves to be replaced at some point

4) The low resolution and low bit-rate/quality is to keep the filesize down
