Video Capture limit in 98/ME....but not in 2k??

[ChemicalEuphoria]

I was posting in another forum about the compatibility of the AIW-Radeon with Win2k, and was told that while not completely compatible, the video capture in 2k was only limited by your HD space. I was also told that in Windows ME and 98se, the largest capture you could make was 2 Gigs, Now correct me if I'm wrong, but at a high quality capture level (Mpeg2) that's barely and hour! I plan on having a very large HD, and would preferably like to have 98/ME for gaming, so is there any truth to the capture limit??

The 2GB limitation is for AVI files, but in terms of FAT32 file system, Win9x is limited to 4GB as the largest file size it can handle.

WinNT/2K using NTFS is not subject to this limitation.

Fat16 2GB filesize limit
Fat32 4GB
NTFS 1TB

True, so true.

There are some proggies that will let you capture multiple files(virtualdub) to get around the limitation with various results, but not mpeg capture AFAIK. I use my AIW Radeon in win2k, and have a NTFS partition for capture. Even Win2k has the 4gb limit with a fat32 partition BTW.
