Good points, I'll have to look at that, it does get paused for very
long times.<br>

That's what I thought! I have version .18, which allows me to set a
limit. I set the limit to 14 gig, which is plenty of time (10 hours or
more).<br>
<br>
However, my daughters system has version .19, which is where the
complaint is coming from (no big surprise). Her machine has a 160 gig
drive, with at least 100 gig available at any time. I wonder if I have
a problem with fstab. As I recall, the /video partition did not get
created correctly. I fixed it by editing the file manually, which
seemed to work, but.....?<br>

If you're using 0.18 or earlier, it's the ringbuffer size I believe

Right, I did exactly that on my system (V-.18). And, yes, my daughter
leaves it paused for vast periods of time. Like, overnight and all the
next day, then complains a week later. I need more information from
her. I'll let everyone know what happens. Thanks again for all the
help,<br>
