Please open a new bug report about SW:Starfighter. This one is about SW:KOTOR II.
Refer to Ian's comment (comment 3). Do you have any reason to disagree?
Just because both games show black screen during video playback it doesn't mean that they share the same problem.
Try searching the appdb for other games that don't show cutscenes but show audio. There are bugs where the cutscenes cause a crash, or the audio doesn't work right, or aren't played at all... but nothing else I could find exactly like this. They are both LucasArts games, and using the same file format for the cutscenes, and showing basically the same symptoms. Seems reasonable at this point to assume it's the same bug.
Are you a wine dev qualified to make that call that it's not? I don't want to waste everyone's time if you are wrong. If there is some evidence to indicate a different root cause, I'll open a new bug.
For me the workaround to play the videos in SW:KOTOR II (using a virtual desktop) doesn't work for SW:Starfighter.
You never said which drivers you were using.
