capture time

[dberryman]

I am using Studio 9 now and like it. However if I'm trying to capture a 1 hour video I have to do it in a little more than 4 parts because Studio 9 only lets me capture 18 minutes at a time.

Is there a way around this? I would like to capture an hour at a time.

I've looked in the owner’s manual and found nothing. I’ve search archives and haven't found anything either.

TIA,

[Marc Peters]

What operating system are you using?

Dave, have a look at my reply on the 'movie length query' thread, where you asked the same question, it may help.

As for capture, I was limited to 17 mins 55 secs when my hard drive was FAT32, as that was how much video I could get for 4 gig, which is the max file size under FAT32. Now my hard drive usues NTFS and I have no file size limit and can capture any amount of video.

Cheers

Gillian

Thank you Gillian and Marc,

Gillian I have no idea what FAT32 aand NTFS means I have Win98 for my OS (Marc Peters) so if that helps I'm not sure.

I do have a dedicated HD just to store videos. There is nothing else on that HD and my capture rate speed is like 32,000'ish. or some rediculas number like that when the minum capture rate speed was suppose to be 4,000'ish.

TIA,

I can't define FAT32 and NTFS, but your hard drive will be one or the other.

FAT32 drives are limited to files of 4 meg, which for avi files is about 18 minutes, so you won't be able to capture longer films.

NTFS doesn't have a file size limit, so you can capture much more video in one file.

But Win98 does not I think support NTFS, so you are stuck with FAT32 and 4 meg, 18 minute, files.

Only Windows NT/2000/2003/XP support NTFS - Windows 9x versions (inc ME) only support FAT file systems.

Thank you Gillian and CJ. I may have to talk Lil momma into updating to XP or XP pro.

Once I do the update is there anything special I need to do in order capture longer durations?

uh, isn't that 4 gigs not 4 megs?

[dberryman]

Yes, but I knew what he ment

[Marc Peters]

No, nothing special - apart from preying that pinnacle works
