When I capture into Premiere 1.5, the program stops the capture between 18 and 20 minutes. It has been doing this just recently, and I name that file, and continue with the capture.

I have 35 tapes to capture for my last project, and I would love to capture it in 35 different AVI clips.

Thanks in advance!

Are you capturing to a drive that is formated as FAT32? FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB. At about 13GB/hr for DV that would be about 18 min of tape to create a file at the max size.

If you can re-format the drive as NTFS you will not have the file size limit and be able to capture the full tape in one file.

Whenever someone says capture dies after 18 minutes, it the drive formatting......
