Help!!!! Rending MPEG causes computer to Freeze

Please Help me:

The video capture seems to work without a glitch but when I
go to render MPEG-1 files the computer locks up after a few
seconds. It happens even if I have cut most of the back
ground tasks, screen saver is off, anti-virus is disabled
or unloaded from memory. I've tried various combinations of
settings for the rendering and the same thing happens. I do
the capture to my D: Drive and have tried to render the
file on to the D: drive and the C: Drive. No change. All of
the download updates are installed.

If I try to render to AVI I'm told I don't have enough hard
drive space which is absurd!

Can anyone please help me? This problem makes my new video
capture card and Video Factory Program useless to me.

System information:
Pentium III 700 MHz
Windows Me
256 MB RAM
C: Drive 6 GB with 3 GB free
D: Drive 20 GB with 14 GB of free space
Both hard Drives formated to FAT32
Pinnacle DC10 Plus recording NTSC to D drive from Analog VCR
Video Blaster TNT2 Ultra
Sound Blaster Live MP3+

Rendering AVI uncompressed will result in huge file sizes,
and you'll quickly hit your Fat32 files size limit. Try
rendering to NTSC DV- that's only 3.8Mb/sec.

The Pinnacle DC10 is not officially supported, and some of
the problems you are seeing may be related to that. It's
not neccessarily a bad card, but we do see lots of problems
with that device, especially the drivers and the codec.

Thanks for replying. I'm not having any problems with
capture. In fact it works great. Does the capture card
still play a role during rendering? Is there any way around
this problem?
