Is there a tool to watch or extract Myst 3 movies from the data files?

Sure, you can extract the game archives using the debug console in ResidualVM. See https://github.com/residualvm/residualv ... g-myst-iii. You need to have a "dump" folder where ResidualVM is located for the "dumpArchive" command to work.
The movies are regular Bink files that can be played by a lot of media players.

Is this supported on OS X?

I created a folder called dump next to ResidualVM.app (I also tried in ResidualVM.app/Contents/MacOS/)

entered dumpArchive NACHnodes.m3a in the debug console and ResidualVM crashes.

macOS is tricky because of the app bundles. If I remember correctly it works when launching the binary directly from the command line. Or perhaps you need to copy the binary out of the bundle first.

thanks, it works now!

starting the binary from command line allowed me to see the debug output. The dump Folder inside ResidualVM.app/Contents/MacOS/ got the wrong permissions so it couldn't write in it.
