I keep getting the message "Video Capturing Failed, Recording stopped because the configuration of media sources and destinations changed. Try to change the destination folder in the Preferences window."  when I stop recording.  Nothing gets saved, but I don't get this message until I've actually stopped the recording (so theres no way for me to tell if its going to work before I start).  I've tried different VHS tapes and have only been successful at capturing a 1 minute recording.  I did change the destination folder to one directly on the hard drive after I got this error the first time.  Any other ideas?  

I just installed and updated the software today.  I'm now running Version 2.0.1 (131).

Are you sure this is the Mac version? The latest update on Roxio's site is 1.0.5. I also am pretty sure the Mac version doesn't allow choosing a different location for the scratch recording.

I'm having the same issue.  I can only record about 10 minutes worth of video with the "Easy VHS to DVD for Mac program I purchased yesterday.  I have a macbook ruining Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.  If I try recording more I get this error message when I stop the recording, "OSStatus error -49 Try to change the destination folder in the preference window."  Any suggestions?

Purchase 1-8-12.  Same issue for me .  I have success with 1.5 minutes of recording, but can not record for 40 minutes, 60 or 90 withouth having this same write error.
What bothers me more is knowing that it is recorded as a temp file somewhere outside the Roxio Video directory.  I know this due to the fact I have less hard drive space.
How can this issue be resolved?

Same issue using software version 2.0.1 (134).

MacOS 10.7.3 8G RAM.

OSStatus error -49 when I stop the recording.

This occurs with a video just under 60 minutes in length.

I've only done a couple short tests with version 2.0.1 and haven't seen this error. It might happen for me, too, with longer captures. You can download the version 1.0.3 from Roxio's Software Updates page and use that instead. The difference is that you'll get an MPEG 2 video using version 1.0.3 rather than either Apple Intermediate Codec or h.264 MPEG-4 video using version 2.0.1. I'll go do a new test with a longer capture this afternoon.

Addendum: I just completed a 60-minute capture with version 2.0.1 without any problem. I'm wondering if it is possible your Mac went to sleep during the capture. Go to the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences to check that computer sleep does not start within the time you plan for video capturing. I'm running 10.7.3 on an older MacBook Pro.
