The guy writes in this article about uncompressed video without sound. Well,
AVI is a lightly compressed format, I can't believe that having 20
MBytes/sec we can get 15 GBytes/hr. Let me guess:

20.736 MB/sec * 3600 / 1024 = 72.9 - so far from real 15 GBytes from one DV
tape

Only when I make a complete slide-show from my AVI, say one minute length
AVI file into BMP format I'm able to get the issue described in this
article. But we never get uncompressed video stream from DV tape by default.
Or I'm wrong?

Just D.

You´re probably hitting the FAT32 Filesize Limit after the 3 mins. That´s
why NTFS is best format fro video work.

While FAT32 is not optimal I severely doubt that you will hit the
limit after only 3 mins.

Even using DV (direct from firewire) allows about 18 mins before
the limit hits.


Have a look at this link Harry, the guy was experiencing exactly that
issue - while doing something similar to the OP too:

My experience is that most of the 'cheap' capture systems are only
reliable for short clips, longer ones tend to be problematical,
although usualy with lip-synch probs rather than an outright crash.

Harry.
