--- Comment #17 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- I have done quite a few tests recently and few videos work in PowerPoint.
Of course one thing that makes it really hard to test is that when WMP is not installed PowerPoint depends on Wine's GStreamer support to play the videos. But it's pretty much impossible to install the 32 bit GStreamer 0.10 packages on a 64 bit system: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777070 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777200 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777202 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777203 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777207 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777209 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777222 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777223 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777224
Also there is essentially no hope of getting this resolved since Debian is currently dropping GStreamer 0.10: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/05/msg00335.html
Then there's Wine's lack of support for GStreamer 1.0: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31836
And finally, given GStreamer's extensive reliance on threading, once all the above is fixed we'll probably still need to fix threading with glib >= 2.32.0: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30557
So yes, GStreamer support, and all the video support that depends on it, which includes PowerPoint, can still be considered to be broken in current Wine.
