Well at the moment it just prevents errors from happening when CEF and
Chromium-based browsers, like Microsoft Edge, attempt to load a
non-existent msmpeg2vdec file. For Photoshop, it can load either an
mp4 or a webm. For the former, this file prevents an error which
should make it fallback to webm and I believe webm plays fine in Wine.

Perhaps in the future when dxva decoding is implemented this dll will
work similarly to the native version.
