Ok.. this isn't nice... knowing you can't rely on correct captures!???
I was watching the MTV Movie awards, and actually test driving my new 20 gig 7200 rpm HDD - so I went ahead and started recording the whole thing - it was going to be 2 hours, I had 8 gigs to spare, Fat32 partition. Was recording at MJPEG medium,audio tv quality , 352*240 30 fps..
ok. the two hours just passed, I hit the stop button.
HMMMM I get two warnings "Can't read file information" (or something) and one good statistics (xxx frames captures, etc etc.)
Now - I 'know' that there is a 2GB limitation on files isn't there? and that pc-vcr overcomes that by cutting at 2gb and creating a new file no? Well my drive lists 3 files: the first: 3.32GB ?! the second: 2.48 GB, the third 382 MB. Trying to play the files in media player 6.x fails except for the last one... now I'm trying in pc-vcr... hm. UNABLE TO PLAY FILE...
ok.. anyone knows what happened?
BTW Norton disk doctor shows no 'errors' in my drive... (here's a dir listing. 4dos 6.x btw)
