I'm trying to use editcap to break capture into smaller files. When I go
to the Windows command prompt and type:
Editcap -r c:capture\tr c:\capture\new 1-10000

Why do I get this error: 
"editcap is not recognized as and internal or external command?"

Thanks in Advance

The file is still located in the temp folder which name you'll find 
under Help/About/Folders.

Ethereal crashes as it's running out of memory. You can split the 
capture file into smaller pieces using editcap 
(http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/editcap.1.html).

Next time you may try the "multiple files" capture option to split the 
resulting file already while capturing.
