There are many different settings you need to be aware of in the capture settings dialog box, but the first one you need to address is the length of allowed capture. What I mean by this the the time that
Avid will allow you to capture your footage before it stops capturing. The default is 30 minutes, which I have always thought to be way to short considering that your average DV tape is 60 minutes and for the most part I want the time limit to be when I press stop. So, I set mine to 120 minutes that way I have complete control over my capture time limit. To do this go t o your project window and select the settings tab. Double click on capture and the capture dialog box will open. Click on the OMF Media Files tab and set the maximum capture time to your time limit of choice.
