I hope someone can help. I have a very old version of video studio. I was using it & got an error:
**error occurred in the capture process. The captured file may have exceeded the file size limitation of the operating system.**
I have windows ME & this has never happened before. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks
videostudio version 5

To give a little more detail, Win ME using the FAT32 filing system will only let you make a file -- any file -- which is no bigger than 4 GB.
So if you are capturing a DV cassette from your mini DV video camera, for instance, which takes 13 GB per hour of video, you will have to break your captures down so that none of them exceeds 4 GB.
That would be around 17 or 18 minutes worth for DV format.
If I remember correctly from the days long ago when I used Win ME, I used to use the 'Split by scene' command during capture of DV video. This meant that VS would create a whole series of small files of my captures based on a change of scene. None of these ever went anywhere near 4 GB. So unless you have simply fixed your camera on a tripod and recorded a stage play or concert, for example, and just let the camera run in one solid take, you might want to look to see whether VS5 allows for splitting scenes during DV capture. I have never used VS5, sorry, so I just don't know.
(Split by scene during capture has never, though, been available for anything except DV format... So if you are capturing DVD/mpeg-2 format, for example, you would be out of luck for this. You'd have to do it manually. But then again, I can't really think of an example of where you would capture a DVD/mpeg-2 file which would exceed 4 GB...
