Hello there. I have had a similar problem every time I have played TSLRCM and the Telos part. But on my end it's a little different. It will play the cut-scenes but it will crash every time the movie ends, or was it half-way through? Can't remember now. And it's ONLY Telos and only when you go to the restoration zone and also when you travel to other parts on the restoration zone. no other cut-scenes does this. And also the graphics and textures are all messed up when it happenes.
I have gotten around this problem by quickly skipping the cut-scene (and hope it doesn't crash, lol.).
Btw, have you tried excluding your KotOR 2 game folder from being scanned by whatever automatic malware scanning (e.g anti-virus) programs you have? I did that with KotOR 1 becuase I was having the problem of the game minimizing to system tray and being unable to get it back. That problem was gettting on my nerves, but luckily excluding the KotOR folder fixed it. Again, you can try it with Kotor 2 as well.
I'll get back to TSLRCM (this time in 1.8.3) once I've finished KotOR again..
