Hi there,
What version of windows do you use? (XP,2000,98)
You could try downloading and installing the latest drivers for your video capture hardware and your computer's video card.
Also, running microsoft windows update by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com may help you. This will update your system files and possibly correct some problems with your computer.
Also, if you are creating one big file (over 2gb) you need to be running Windows XP/2000/NT and using the NTFS file system, otherwise individual filesizes are limited to 2gb (FAT).
If you need help with any of the above just say, I can provide details,
hope this info helps,

Hi Clint,
Thanks for the prompt answer. I am currently running win98 but i can upgrade to XP. I regulary check for updates to all my programes and as far as im aware they are all up to date.
Its just so frustrating, but i'll try the xp and fingers crossed.
Many thanks

Sherilee,
I think you'll be better off with XP. It handles large files much better than 98. Make sure to format with NTFS and try to capture to seperate HDD. Also defrag often, it helps move things along better.
Good luck!Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........
