Summary: WMP is unable to play mpeg/mpg files, affects Powerpoint 2007's presentation capabilities Product: Wine Version: 1.1.10 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: quartz AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ngoonee@hotmail.com
After installing WMP9 (identical results with WMP10, but trace is from WMP9), WMP is not able to load mpeg/mpg files. The error displayed by WMP is
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play.%0
The important parts of the log (which are generated when trying to load the mpeg) is quite short, so putting it here.

Trace included as attachment. Note that this same behaviour is observed when trying to play (not insert) mpeg/mpg movies in Powerpoint 2007. WMP is necessary in order to load movies at all. This also potentially affects other apps besides Powerpoint (Word, perhaps) as well as some games which have been known not to be able to play MPEG files. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9127 may be related, sorry I'm not aware how to mark bugs as potential dupes.
This bug does not affect (AFAICS) .avi and .wmv files. I did not have other file-types to test.
This bug was first asked about and discussed briefly in this thread:- http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=16478
