Introduction 

One of the serious problems about video capture is the 2GB limit that 
is caused by the file layout of the avi files mostly used under Windows. 
When capturing high quality videos in high resolutions (like 704*480 30 
frames/sec) 2GB is only filled up within a few minutes. This is very 
inconvenient for long time video capture. Not only you must make lots 
of subsection to capture dividedly, but also you might lost a significant 
amount of frames. (Because of the time is needed to open another AVI file 
and started capture operation)

The solution for this rigid limitation is to split the total captured 
data into the different AVI files. The key point of the solution is that 
we switch to save the captured data before the current AVI file is nearly 
2GB. The faster switch we do, the less frames we lose. Now ASUS Live support 
this "quick switch" function in the version (V3.5). It will make you easy to 
operate video capture.

How to work

1. First, you must assign a capture filename, like "c:\capture.avi", this is 
   the same as we did before in earlier version. 
2. In this version, we try to solve two troubled events.
   (1) When capturing file size is over 2GB.
   (2) When HD space will be exhausted.

   The first event will be happened when your target HD space is larger than 
   2 GB. Once the captured AVI file size has been over 2GB, it is unrecognized 
   for WINDOWS MCI device.  Now ASUS Live will stop video capture to keep AVI
   file structure validity before the capturing file is over 2G. 

   The second event will be happened when your HD space is coming to be exhausted, 
   but you still want to do the capture. In earlier version ASUS Live won't stop 
   capture until WINDOWS give you a warning message, but this will cause capture 
   error. Now ASUS Live not only solve this problem, and make user select another 
   HD partition to be used as extended data buffer for storing captured AVI files. 
   You can use this function "Append" to append the enough space HD for video 
   capture in order to keep all frames you need. The following filename will be 
   "\capture_1.avi", "\capture_2.avi" ....etc.
