VirtualDub stops capturing video, keeps recording audio?
 

VD stops capturing video on PC screen timeout, but keeps recording audio?

I'm encountering an issue while capturing Video8 tapes using VirtualDub 1.9.11.

During the process of capturing a 2-hour tape, if my PC screen turns off due to inactivity, VirtualDub stops recording video frames but it still captures audio. Consequently, the resulting AVI file exhibits a segment where the video turns black while the audio continues normally for the remainder of the tape.

Is there a way to prevent VirtualDub within the program itself from halting video capture when my PC screen turns off due to inactivity? I need VirtualDub to continue capturing video even when I'm unable to monitor the full 2-hour duration of the tape.

Do not allow the screen to turn itself off. Disable that feature.
