+Recordings take up a ton of space.  VirtualDub will approximate how much recording time you have left on your hard drive.  Make sure you have enough!  If you run out, you're out of luck.  <br />
 *'''Watch for dropped or inserted frames'''
 Video capture is a delicate process.  Depending on how powerful your computer is, you should consider closing all other software except for VirtualDub.  Dropped frames can happen for a lot of reasons.  A few dropped frames may be a minor "hiccup" in your system.  If you are experiencing several, it is a good idea to reboot.  You may want to set the priority for the VirtualDub software to be higher.  Open Virtual Dub > Options > Main > Processor Priority.  If dropped frames happen more frequently, you might consider rebooting your computer.  If you are using a USB capture device, try plugging the device into another USB port on your computer.
