Legend's great (and heavily underrated) Unreal engine based Wheel of Time shooter from 1999 basically still works on newer Windows versions except for the QuickTime videos used to tell the story, which play extremely choppy (<1 fps), if at all. The file below contains all that is required to fix this issue.

The fix basically makes Quicktime use the DirectDraw wrapper from Wine for Windows, which eliminates the choppy video playback problem. Tested on Windows7/64.

BTW: A Glide wrapper (nGlide) is recommended for the best possible graphics in this game, but not required.
