HardDrive Limitation Problem...Please Help

[FruitLooops]

I have a Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge running on a Pentium4 with WindowsME OS. I am only capable of capturing about 20 minutes and then it stops capturing. Is there anything I can do to capture more video with a set up that I have or is there some kind of software that can overide this problem even with my operating system.

WinME uses FAT32 format for the hard drives, it is limited to 4gig file sizes.

you must split your edits into <4gig files or upgrade to Win2000 or XP and format your disks with NTFS.

NTFS will support single files upto 2TB in size (2000Gig)

Yep fat32 can only go up to 4gig..... I don't really know to much about the dv-bridge you are running, but have you looked into a program like avi io? I don't know if you can use them or not, but what it will do is split the capture into multiple parts and thus get around the 4gb limit. I know you can use it for dv video comming from a dvcamcorder. check the tools section.
