--- Comment #17 from François Gouget <fgouget at codeweavers.com> ---
I have done quite a few tests recently and few videos work in PowerPoint.

Of course one thing that makes it really hard to test is that when WMP is not
installed PowerPoint depends on Wine's GStreamer support to play the videos.
But it's pretty much impossible to install the 32 bit GStreamer 0.10 packages
on a 64 bit system:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777203
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777207
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777209
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777222
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777223
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777224

Also there is essentially no hope of getting this resolved since Debian is
currently dropping GStreamer 0.10:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/05/msg00335.html

Then there's Wine's lack of support for GStreamer 1.0:

And finally, given GStreamer's extensive reliance on threading, once all the
above is fixed we'll probably still need to fix threading with glib >= 2.32.0:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30557

So yes, GStreamer support, and all the video support that depends on it, which
includes PowerPoint, can still be considered to be broken in current Wine.
