HD Space?

[JMTapes]

When I capture video, my computer freezes at about 20 minutes or so. I only have a 4 GB HD, but I ordered a 40 GB today. I was wondering if the increased hard drive space will allow me to capture for a longer time? Or does that have more to do with processor speed? Thanks-Jim

Hey man, well a few things, first you will need a bigeer hard disk which u have ordered, thats good, also with win 9x, win me only supports file size of only 3.9 gig, so if you file is bigger then it will be split up, not a problem, however win nt, win2000 and xp you can have ny size file you want so no file spliting.

hope this helps jim.

Regards.

Stera
the 3.9 Gig limit on one file is there even in NT/2K/XP.

Did a little research I guess this has changed thier is a new avi standard 2.0 that allows more under NT/2K/XP
