Sometimes Wine or WineBottler will remain running in the background even though you have quit the application. So use the money you saved on the camera and spend it on the media. And as the card gets filled up, the times can get shorter and shorter. You can use cheaper slower cards, but many times the camera will stop recording around 30 seconds to 1 minute. I recommend going with at least a 45/MBs card, or better yet, go with a 95/MBs card. To get the longest sustained running time per clip, you will need a fast card. But if you want to confirm that, from the website page, scroll down to where it says version history and check there to confirm. The website link, and the download link 'should' always be the latest version of PTools.

*If a hack says that you need the latest version of PTools to load the hack, then you need the latest version of PTools, no if, ands, or buts. So put your big boy or big girl pants on and take responsibility for your actions if you decide to hack your camera. No guarantee is provided by me, or anyone else.

While I have never had a problem with any of the Driftwood hacks, I have heard stories of hacks that have ended up bricking the camera. For example, with Driftwood v9b, select 24p Cinema, and choose 24H to use the highest quality Driftwood hack. Now you are all set to go out and start shooting! To take advantage of the firmware, all you have to do is to select the appropriate mode.
