Has anyone had any luck running the DVD version of Overseer (the only version available @GOG right now) in Wine?

The game seems to install and run correctly, only I can't get the MPEG-2 decoder working, so the videos won't play.

Unfortunately the DVD version of Overseer was so dependent on proprietary code that even in windows it has traditionally been hard to make it run correctly (it was only somewhat recently that the DVD version got released for Windows). Frankly, I'd be surprised if it is made to run correctly going forward for Windows (if every for Linux) - but if anybody can it would be the GOG community.

It is also a little disappointing to see the prior games released on Linux through steam before GOG - hoping for a GOG release soon!
