The file size limit does not only depend on the installed Windows system but also on the file system which is either FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS. The size may also be limited by the underlying capture technology. The common file size limits are like this: File system File size limit FAT16 (Windows 9x/ME) 2GB – 1 byte FAT16 (Windows NT and later) 4GB – 1 byte FAT32 4GB – 1 byte NTFS 2TB – 1 byte 10. Whenever I try and select Still capture mode (or Preview with selecting Still capture enabled), I get the following message: “CreateGrabber: CoCreateInstance failed, hr=0x80040154”. What does that mean and how do I get still capture to work? The error means that the Sample Grabber, a software component used to make the still captures, is not installed or registered in your system. This usually means that the version of DirectX installed on your PC is outdated. To fix this issue, go to the Windows or Microsoft Update website and install the latest version of DirectX.
