I am using a Dazzle Bridge and Dazzle MovieStar5 to
convert my home videos to DVD. However, it can only
capture about 10 minutes of video before the software
stops. It is my understanding that the file reaches
capacity and stops.

How can I change the file size to reflect the amount of
data being loaded.

My computer: Windows XP Home, External 100gig drive with
firewire, processor is Pent3/933.

Any suggestions?

Are you using the NTFS files system?

If you have the hard drive formatted as fat32, you are limited to a file
size of 4 gig maximum. That could well be 10 minutes of high quality video.
