I have discovered that the maximum size that the avi can reach is about 2GB - and obviously, this is affected by frame size and frame rate - and, of course, length of recording. I particularly like the ability of being able to start the capture process using command-line parameters. I have the opportunity to renew the system and would appreciate any suggestions about what I might do different next time.
