Pinnacle DC10+ 71 minute problem

[avl1]

Everything worked fine and VirtualDub was compensating for the 2^32ms bug in the Pinnacle drivers. Last week it stopped working, and now whatever I am trying to capture VirtualDub just stops capturing at 1:11:35 with no message and sometimes even freezes altogether. I am using latest drivers from the Pinnacle site. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with registry cleanup, I even did a complete system reinstall. What can it be? Thanks in advance for any hints.

It's been known for a long time that the DC-10 cannot capture over 70 minutes, but I don't know what this has to do with Vdub. Does the DC-10 have a VFW driver, and you use the DC-10 card for capture with Vdub? If so, I don't know why you still have the 71 minute limit. It could be that the limit is a hardware based limit of the card??

I am using the DC10+ and what must be a VFW driver with VDub under Win98SE, and from the VDub docs it seems that the DC10 drivers have the 2^32ms bug, i.e. they use long int to hold the time value, so I don't think this is a hardware problem. Besides, VDub was successfuly compensating for this bug and was giving me a message about this until recently. I am trying to figure out what could have changed in my system/software so that this compensation does not work anymore

Well, I found what's different in my setup. I am trying to capture via a composite input. Strangely, when capturing via s-video the problem goes away, or at least does not show up every time...

If you use the new studio 7 drivers, then the capture is based on WDM Directshow. This solves all the 2GB fragmented file problems I used to see (and the 71minute problem). for example I did a 2.5 hour capture yesterday in 1x22gb file.

I think I am using the latest drivers, the file DC10PlusHardwareInstall_1028 from the Pinnacle site and have the 71 minute problem when capturing from the composite input only! However I am using VDub for capturing, and VDub as far as I remember uses VFW drivers which may have not been updated. Are you using Studio 7 for capturing? BTW, what OS are you using? I thought 2GB file size is Win9x limitation.
