hankey772 Posted July 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2014 hi. using the search function i didn't catch any topic regarding this... so sorry if i just missed it. Problem: I'm using a Capture Card to record some of my Gameplay. The Record-app is used under Windows 7 and stores/writes the record directly to the NAS. For some reason, as soon as the record reaches 4GB.. it just deletes all the previous recordings and starts all over again. Saving the recording to an internal or external-drive connected to the PC on which the Record-app is running works just fine. I do have plenty > 4GB Files on that Drive and regulary Unzip files larger than 4GB under Windows from and onto this drive... so i really dont know what's the Problem here. some suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. thx in advance.
