Additional Comments

clean wine no winetricks

User 'xrt' in the AVSForum thread had the following to say, something which may be relevant to why the program crashes under WINE (i.e. mpeg2repair is packed/compressed using PESpin. PESpin's homepage is http://pespin.w.interia.pl/ ):

"Just thought it would be useful to post a couple of notes, say in case anyone wants to have a more detailed look at it... as PESpin is a quite tricky packer to get fully unpacked... someone needs to have quite a bit of knowledge regarding PE format, in order to repair/get a working executable after general "dumping"... But for basic examination,the repair part is not really needed...

1)The manual (and preferred) way,using OllyDbg...and your mind ;-)

2)The semi-automatic way,using pre-made generic unpackers, you'll might need to play with their settings a bit... Either with RL!dePacker...
http://ap0x.jezgra.net/unpackers.html
Or alternatively,with QuickUnpack...
http://qunpack.ahteam.org/

In both cases,you'll have to fix the unpacked result, in order to get a working executable...
but as already said,for basic examination,this isn't really needed... That's just the basic workflow that I generally use, when I come across packed executables that alarm my AV software, and give suspicious results when scanning online at VirusTotal service..."

Other virtualization software has had problems with PESpin.; See this:
