Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton-4.11-GE-1, Changed configuration

Navigate to dosboxRTZ.conf

For me this was: /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Return to Zork/RTZ/DOSBOX/

Open config file with text editor of choice.

Make the following changes:

fullscreen=false

windowresolution=800x1280

usescancodes=false

Using Proton-4.11-GE-1 fixes the FMV transition lag issue. However, it Shrinks the screen to the corner, even with adjusting fullscreen resolution in the config file. Disabling fullscreen and adjusting window resolution fixes this and fills the screen.
