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.
