I had the exact same problem with the videos, the screen was just solid white and I didn't even get sound.

But I managed to figure it out!

Here's what you do -

Make sure your Windows Media Player is the default player to open WMV files.
Then go to Windows Media Player's video performance advanced settings, there you should have overlay mixer selected.

Also if you use ffdshow, go to its configuration and highlight DirectShow control,
there should be a "Don't use ffdshow in:" list. Just add Operation Wintersonne.exe there.

Hopefully this solves the problem for you, and everyone else who are possibly experiencing this issue too.

Slightly non related but you can run the game in custom resolution if you change the resolution values in 'options.dat' file.
