I've set up a batch mode test case where the disk video image (1514x1110
to adjust the time) generates in 3 minutes and 0.87 seconds. Using an
automatic save time of 3 minutes performs one auto save and works fine
for me. I was not doing anything else on the machine at the time.

Is it possible you were doing something that was using the hard drive at
the same time as the saves were occurring?
