I believe my answer below covers this question also.

You can go to Capture --> Options and then define in the Capture File(s)
part
To have continious capture files. There you can also define where the
files will be saved
And the criteria to close a file and open a new one.
If you are not interested in watching live the packets you capture I
would recommend you to use Tshark or Dumpcap (depending your needs).
Info on those Command line tools can be found in
The Wireshark install folder :-) The both consume a lot less CPU and RAM
memory comparing to Wireshark.
>3) How can I preserve vlan tags when capturing ? I already
downloaded the intel driver, as >>well as edited my registry as per
intel's intructions but it still strips the vlan tags.
No idea :-(
