Hello,
Simple question. My Windows XP is installed on a NTFC drive.
Is that normal that it created 2 files for tape that run longer than 1 hour?
Yes I have the 4 103 430 bytes annoying limitation.
Thanks

NTFC? A typo, maybe? I think you mean NTFS. Happens to the best of us.

In VirtualDub capture's top menu bar, left-click on the " Capture " Item. In the drop down menu that appears, check that " Enable multisegment capture" is not checked ON.

NTFS doesn't have a 4GB limit.

That's a shame, MPEG is lossy encoding. Can't help you there, I never capture analog source to lossy media. In any case there shouldn't be a file size limit unless the ATI 600/MCE has a setting I never saw before. For a single DVD disc, the storage limit is 4.3GB.
I just looked it up in a 600 USB review. For MPEG the 600's maximum file limit is 4.3GB
You can always edit and combine segments later. Unfortunately, MPEG isn't deigned as an editing format. You'll need a smart-rendering editor to cut away unwanted material without damage.

Oh thank for the confirmation. Usually I use huffyuv codec, but this time I though that I could save some time to capture in MPEG for some less important tapes...

I've done that myself several times, but not with MCE. Years back when I had analog cable I must have recorded dozens of TV shows with the MCE in an All In Wonder AGP, and used a DVD recorder with the LSI chip for several retail tapes (with a tbc for Macrovision, of course). MCE isn't bad these days, unless you want to do some restoration and so forth. There are smart rendering MPEG editors if you want to join or cut scenes.
With my AGP cards and MCE I don't recall hitting the 4.3GB mark. I adjusted bitrate for 90 minutes, or about 6000 kbps VBR, so 1 hour or 90 minute shows would be less than 4.3GB. If you have a long movie that goes over the limit you can keep a high bitrate if you author/burn to double-layer DVD. Verbatim DVD+R/DL AZO is the best and safest DL media for that. Most retail DVD's are double-layer anyway.

I capture MPEG all the time -- mostly 15mbps high bitrate these days. Looks fine. I used to capture straight to DVD, and that's a reason that ATI AIW, ATI 600, and certain DVD recorders are desired. Quality lasts, AVI not always necessary.
The ATI CMC config probably has a size limit. ATI MMC did. You can set it by time or size. Just change it. I know that "Windows limit" essentially disabled it in ATI MMC software. So if FAT32, it cut at 4gb. If NTFS ... well, you'll never get there.
My ATI 600 is currently uninstalled, can't check it.
