Do you mean it's all jerky and the sound is stuttery?

If so, it sounds like either the codec you're using to capture is hogging CPU or your PC just isn't fast enough. Either can cause dropped frames which will appear as above.

Try capturing to uncompressed AVI 5 mins at a time. I captured 30 mins worth once and it turned out to be a whopping 6Gb!! 5 mins at a time is about 1Gb which is more manageable.

Then you can compress the AVI afterward with DivX or XVid or whatever.
Also try trurning off the preview video on the capture option in Movie Maker as this will degrade the video quality
