So thats not good. You would think that it would leave it up to the 
operating system. Ok the really cool thing about this is that both wine 
and VirtualDub are open source projects so if you have any programing 
skills you should be able narrow it down a bit. The way it is I'm not 
sure its a bug in wine or a bad feature in virtual dub.
