With prior version of the game, I never installed the Intel Indeo codecs and still everything worked fine...
Video cutscenes never worked for all I know, but in some earlier versions they were simply always skipped due to lack of some features in few Wine dlls. Changes around 1.03 - 1.04 were supposed to make cutscenes in Thief and System Shock 2 games and, at least on my end, they did. It seems to work for me with 1.08 and 1.09.
For Thief I used Thief Gold + a copy protection "fix". Do you use gold edition or original?
Did you try new wine prefix? It's good because it guarantees clean, default registry and default settings and eliminates possibility of some older version junk in registry causing trouble.
Also if you can, attach a +quartz,+devenum log please and check whether using native (Windows) quartz.dll helps.
