Ensure your hard drive is formatted in NTFS format... which will help with
the large file sizes. FAT32 only supports up to 4gb in size.
I've never actually tried capturing analog (VCR) through MCE... I use either
PowerDirector or WinDVD... or even on occasion Roxy EMC. All work fine. I
also do not use the TV Tuner for capture, I have a VIVO capable graphics
card and I don't have to change tuner settings at all.
