Newbee -- Clips lasting only 5 sec's

I have Movie Studio 3.0 running on my new Windows XP system and am attempting to capture analog footage from old tapes. The hook up thorugh the digital camcorder is working fine (I can see the video playing in the preview screen). But capturing lasts only about 5 seconds (20MB !) then stops. When I go to Preferences and Disk Management, I'm told there is another Capture folder on the drive and that my settings may not work "as expected." Also, I have downloaded 3.0b.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to change the setting? Or, is there another problem I'm not aware of? Thanks in advance.

In the VidCap program, check Options / Preferences / General. Is "Enable DV device control" checked? If so, VidCap is trying to play a tape in the camcorder. Turn this setting off and you will be able to capture what is coming in from the analog source unfettered.
