CAPTURE STOPS AFTER A 3,7 GIGA FILE!!! HOW TO AVOID IT???

[fgtan]

When I capture some videos n the size of the file gets higher than 3,7 giga, the capture stops n I recieve an error message. With the settings I'm capturing, it gives me abou a half of an hour...
How can I capture more????

You didn't specify which OS/filesystem you're using.

1. OS using FAT have a filesize limit of 2GB
2. OS using FAT32 have a filesize limit of 4GB
3. OS using NTSF have a filesize limit of 1000GB. This is more than any of us will EVER need for our video capture/editing needs.

Only windows 2000 and XP support NTFS. Maybe it's time to upgrade!

Also use virtualdub's or AVIIO's multisegment feature, makes several 4Gb files that can be linked together.

The point is...When I had windows 98 se in my machine, I used to capture using pic video codec, at 720x480 n I get something as 5 dropped frames for an half an hour of capturing...It was really good!!!
After I installed windows 2000, I updated all of my drivers but still gettin tons of dropped frames!!! the funny thing is that, my cpu is working under 20% n "the compression", (that I set as picvideo) is shown as 1:1.
Any ideas what should I do...

be also sure that the driver of the capture cards support bigger files.

the AVI file has to be in AVI 2.0 otherwise it will not work.

in this case is AVI-IO an good solution for this.
