Yeah, tested just now starting from 2.3.1 all the way back to 1.9.4, seems like it's forever been an issue..

So your idea is to re-encode the videos into something better? In this case, that is not possible as the game cannot take literally anything else than .wmv.
That would only be possible if someone were to reverse the FMV decoder from the game and replace it with Bink or something else. Bink is the most preferable imo, although it'd probably require a license lol... like many others actually?

curiously in your case stay on windows and then media foundation aka mf must be work (wmv must be work ok on windows), on wine media foundation implementation still is a wip (specially on wmv)

sadly for now i said maybe can be a option for now, however i dont know how this stay related with dxvk
