Hi Tina;
I just tried that with my VCR capture and it does exactly what you are
saying. This does not occur with my DV Camera that connects via Firewire
(1394)
This leads me to believe that this behavior is by design. Since Windows
cannot control a USB video device in the same manner as a Firewire digital
video device, it will not allow a timed capture. This would be related to the
fact that Windows cannot "stop" the USB video device since it cannot control
it. When I do a timed capture from my DV camera via Firewire, Windows
actually puts the camera in "Standby" mode once the time expires.

Hope that helps;
Jeff
