that stupid 4gig issue again

[benf2]

I tried converting my avi with ac3 sound to a mpg dvd compliant format to put on dvd and the conversion stops at 3.99gigs. I am running win2k ntfs format. I was lead to believe using ntfs would fix this prob. Obviously not!!

Anyone know if this can be resolved?:angry:

Are you 500% sure your hard drive was formatted to NTFS? Did you made a clean W2k install or upgraded from W9x?

[benf2]

Clean install and verified it both in disk manager and V-com system commander. Have you been able to create an mpg larger then 4gigs as one file?

I also have NTFS and some programs have a 4gb file sizw limitation,
ulead movie factory does, and windvd 3 wont play any file over 4gb

I've had a similar problem, where I'll take a 1 or 2 hour capture, put it through TMPEG and only the first 9mins 38secs will be recognised.

The only way I found to get around it (and it is very costly in terms of disk space) is to open the AVI in VirtualDub and then re-save it using a direct stream copy. Then suddenly TMPEG sees the entire file.

Adobe Premiere has the same problem. Try to export to the root of your HD instead of a sub directory.

[benf2]

ok, i will try that... are you saying it worked for you by saving to the c drive instead of a folder?

[oxie]

Yes. If it doesn't work either, that means that your conversion software does not handle files larger than 4 Gb.
