You are missing the question.

I am not asking for help to diagnose that simple experiment. I am asking 
if others have had experience with the top-level goal: capturing hours 
of 4k video, reliably and with low loss, using ffmpeg.

I can use whatever capture card, operating system, CPU, and graphics 
card are necessary to build a system that works, and costs less than 
what Vendor A would charge us for their closed system.
