I am trying to limit capture(video) file size by doing

captureGraphBuilder.AllocCapFile(fname, 2000000);
captureGraphBuilder.SetOutputFileName(MediaSubType.Avi, fname, out mux,

The file size is always larger than 2MB.
I am probably not implementing this correctly. Can anyone tell
me what I'm doing wrong?

The docs say:

"The AllocCapFile method preallocates a capture file to a specified size.
For best results, always capture to a defragmented, preallocated capture
file that is larger than the size of the capture data."

They don't say anything about it limiting the capture to this size. AFAIK,
it doesn't.
