I have been experimenting with capture settings with my Matrox G450
eTV with the purpose of writing to DVD. After much testing, I have
discovered that the best setting is uncompressed RGB. The only problem
with this setting is that the AVI files become huge in size. Next
problem - I have now discovered that the matrox software seems to
split recording files once they reach 4 gig in size. Why is this? And
is there a way around it?


This is an inherent limit in the AVI 1.0 file format. To get around it
you'll need to run capture software that supports AVI 2.0. Not sure if
the latest Matrox downloads support it or not.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
