Are you capturing to a FAT32 formatted disk? If so, you are coming up against file size limits imposed by this disk format.

You should either be capturing to an NTFS formatted drive, or using software that will split your capture into FAT32 friendly chunks.

Try using DVio to capture with. http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm Make sure nothing else is trying to use the disks while capturing.
