With the WC4 CD edition, and Win95 patch/ DOS/WIN edition, unlike WC3 from Kilrathi Saga, the FMVs are perfect. In flight, the music is jumpy, but everything else seems to work perfectly.

Five years on, I can confirm that the background music and slight A/V sync issues I experienced in FMVs have been fixed. WINE 1.5.18
