Hi,
First of all you should put these things to the user list, more chance of a response. 

Secondly, look into using dumpcap from the command line to do the capture for you.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi.
  I am working with massive amounts of packets. At some point, Wireshark
starts to choke, or there is a warning about low virtual memory.

I would like to tell Wireshark to auto-save the packets to a file once
in a while, and clear the memory so it can handle more packets.
Of course, I will later need some way to re-load all the data and still
not have any memory problems. MAYBE it can be done somehow with the
capture filter, namely to load only what I need from the created file.

Is there such (or a similar)  feature?

Thanks.
