I am trying to capture long VHS videos but I am finding that I can't rely on VirtualDub to do the job because there is always some kind of a glitch that stops the capture dead in its tracks. I then have to restart the whole process which is a real pain and very time consuming.
Now the capture goes along quite happily for quite some time - it could typically be as long as half an hour before this problem might occur.
I am wondering if there are any settings that would make VirtualDub more resilient when capturing video. What would be nice is to have some automatic way of knowing that the capture had stuffed up and get VirtualDub to reinitiate a fresh capture. At least that way I wouldn't have to keep manually intervening to keep the process going.

Two possible causes:
1) Most likely, you have some "stop conditions" enabled, and they are triggering the stoppages. Uncheck them under "Capture -> stop conditions"
2) You are running into the 2 GB size limit for either the old AVI file format, or the file is being written to a FAT32 partition. Enable multi-segment capture, and save to a NTFS partition instead. |

I've seen this happen before with video capture cards, and from what I've been able to tell, the capture driver simply stops sending frames when certain types of glitches occur on the video input. I'm afraid that currently I don't know of a workaround for this except to manually restart the capture.
