Problem Hard Drive Space

[FruitLooops]

I am new to capturing and would just like to say I love my Dazzle HollyWood DV-Bridge to death. But the problem I have is that I can only capture 18mins of vhs footage. How can I get my HardDrive/comp to capture more film. I am running windows ME . Any help from you guys is greatly appreciated. This is an excellent site and I hope it keeps going for a long time to come. Thanks again for any replies guys.

i have WindowsME also. my captures are limited to 12 minutes AVI. it has something to do with FAT32 that only allows up to a certain amount of data for 1 file. for me its 4 gigs=12 minutes. as for other formats i think mpeg2 is about 20 minutes but i'm not sure. i have tried every way i can to get around it but i have had no luck. someone else told me to format and use Win98. i did and still same problem. others said to capture useing Vdub or AVIio but you need the VFW for those which WindowsMe does not have. i have given up for now on it and decided to stick with what i have and just use a stopwatch to continuously restart my capture. good luck.......
