Perhaps the top-10 Gold List on the front page of the appdb might help: <a href="http://appdb.winehq.org/">http://appdb.winehq.org/</a><br>

In my experience (Breezy Badger 5.10, wine 0.9.5), the movies in
Warcraft 3 actually played through without crashing, though it was
unbearably slow.<br>
<br>
Other games seem to be having similar problems when it comes to
playing videos. For example, Half-life 2:

<br>
What is it, really, that causes the movies to play so slowly?<br>
</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Diablo 2 does still run in D3D mode if you hack the gamma function to<br>DD_OK. Everything else there is ok.
