           Summary: Impossible to insert an MPEG file in PowerPoint
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winmm&mci
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: fgouget at codeweavers.com


Trying to insert an mpeg video in PowerPoint 2003 gives the following error
message:

PowerPoint cannot insert a movie from the selected file. Verify that the path
and file format are correct, and then try again.

And this trace:
fixme:mci:MCI_LoadMciDriver Couldn't load driver for type L"MPEGVIDEO".

So it seems like this is because we are missing an mpeg codec in Wine so this
is probably not specific to PowerPoint 2003.

To reproduce:
 * download an mpg file from anywhere
 * install PowerPoint 2003 and start it
 * Insert -> Movies and Sounds -> Movie from File...
 * select your mpg file and validate
