Ubuntu 64-Bit playing L4D Via Wine

I took some screen captures while playing Left 4 Dead. I am running it via Win 1.1.25.
For more information about Wine visit their site.

I was getting fairly decent frame rates, around 22-35 depending. That was also while running the gtk-recordmydesktop screen capture application. For some reason the audio was stripped out. There is a new version of wine out, I plan to upgrade, tweak it some more and give that a try. I did have the shading turned way down just to increase FPS performance.

Video was recorded in OGV, and edited in Kdenlive

For those curious this machine is running:

AMD Phenom II Quad Core 2.2
8 GB Memory
Nvidia BFG GTX260
500 GB WD HDD

I will have more to come after trying out Wine. 1.1.26.

This episode Josh, Joel, and Eric cover some recent open source applications, as well as discuss new methods to stream media.

I greatly apologize that the audio .mp3 file is not available for this cast. We record the audio as a separate stream, and the HDDD failed so we only have the video portion available this time.
