Please take a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log and get a log with
+msvideo,+tid and attach it here as a text file. You'll need to use builtin dll
obviously. To get complete crash info you'll need to install debug symbols
package.

The whole point is to be able to run Windows applications without Windows.
Licensing is one aspect of it, yes.
