Just to update, I've played through an entire game of The Dig with everything compressed in the manner previously mentioned. The sound playback during movies was missynched, though the only one long enough to really be noticeable is the opening movie. The lip-synching of characters to their dialogue was slightly off throughout.

Unfortunately I didn't write down the error message since I was expecting it to be duplicatable, but it was something like "fade missing". I reloaded and tried again; this time, the movie played through without freezing, but the SCUMMVM Menu button (the first one on the bottom left) stopped responding, meaning I couldn't exit the game. I kept going all the way up to the credits, and then had to do a reset to exit.
