------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon@yahoo.com 2003-17-07 04:21 ------- AFAIK this issue is somewhat known.. IIRC It is mainly due to the fact that we do not have the quartz libraries in the wine tree anymore. The problem is basically that when you open the file in windows, it loads the embedded player and that player uses another player to actually play the movie (actually it's codec). If the codec is not installed, the movie will not play. That is the same case here.. More than likely, the codec needed is included with windows media player, and that isnt installed. I must note though that even with media player installed, there is no guarantee that the video will play, due to the fact that the codec's are usually (i think) similar to drivers in the sense that they are system wide. It's kinda like winhelp.. It uses Internet Explorer to browse the web even though you don't see ie, it is what's being used.
Of course I could be wrong about everything I just said, in which case you can just ignore everything.
