Now, this brings up another issue: It seems there must be a bug with the builtin msvfw32.dll that WINE comes with. I tried this with WINE versions 1.4, 1.6, and 1.7.14. All three of the WINE versions have this issue.
How do I go about filing this bug with the WINE developers, as to make sure it is brought to their attention, to avoid compatibility issues with other programs out there?
Please take a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log and get a log with +msvideo,+tid and attach it here as a text file. You'll need to use builtin dll obviously. To get complete crash info you'll need to install debug symbols package.
And on another point of inquiry: Why does WINE use builtin dlls anyway? Why can't WINE just use all native Windows dll's? Is it because of licensing issues? Is it because of size? Speed? -just curious on this point.
The whole point is to be able to run Windows applications without Windows. Licensing is one aspect of it, yes.
