I am having an issue with the media capture section. After approximately 8 minutes of video capture (regardless of the format I'm saving to) the media capture utility crashes at the point where the capture is stopped. The program locks up hard and can not be killed even from the task manager. The video being captured is properly saved to its file, however I have to go through a system restart to dislodge the program from memory.
The system is a Dell XPS 8300 (i7/2600) with 8GB main memory, NVIDIA card, 1TB hard drive. O/S is Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.
The system is otherwise completely stable. I am suspecting a possible software conflict with something else that might be running in the system, however it would help if anyone else has observed this. I had hoped upgrading to 2012 might correct the issue but it has not. The program was not having this problem a couple of months ago but it seems to have developed since having installed some of my development tools. Obviously I could try to find this by systematically removing things but I'd prefer if there was something a little simpler that might explain it.
I went through 3 separate uninstall/reinstall processes with 2011 before upgrading to 2012. Aside from a system rebuild or removal of a lot of things I'd like to know if there are any options to try.
All,
