Device did not pass Windows logo testing

This message can safely be ignored as it will not cause problems with other software. Basically it means that Microsoft did not test the software itself.

Duration of recording

The PCUSBVC3 is a real-time capture device. This means that e.g. it will take 3 hours to capture or transfer a 3-hour recording.

Size of recording

Recording size depends on the chosen format and image size. To decrease overall file size, select a different format or reduce the image size. Note that this will also decrease image quality.

E.g. in AVI format (no compression) 10 minutes of recording uses about 1GB. In MPEG format this is about 200MB; in WMV about 30MB.

Transferring audio only to PC

This is not possible with the PCUSBVC3.
