MediaStudioPro .. File Size limitation

[THE_Editor]

I'm running into a problem thats really pissing me off !

2Gb file size limitation.

My system is an Asus CuBx-E (getting old, but reliable) at 1ghz with 786mb RAM & G550 graphics.

Now the bit I know your all waiting to pounce on ...................

O/s is Win2KPro !! O/s drive is Ntfs

Capture drive is a 120Gb IBM deskstar formatted as NTFS
So is Render drive.

Camera is Sony Vx9000e & Ms4.

I can capture endlessly (using sony & firewire) no problems but when I add it all together in Msp with footage from Ms4 (under 2gb) & render it the Ba*tard thing craps out bang on 2gb !!

Msp is v6

Capture card is AvCardPro by Electronic-design

Sony camera does NOT have firewire IN enabled.

Why the hell is it doing this ?? I must be doing something wrong as everywhere I read, No-one (who is running w2k under NTFS) gets this problem.

Help greatly apped !

What export format are you using? If DV is it type1 or type2? DV Type2 or Video for Windows codecs are often limited to 2 gigs. So can be exports from an editing device that uses Video for Windows drivers.

You might also want to check the c:\winnt\ulead32.ini file for an entry disabling OpenDML support, which would limit file sizes to 2 gigs. It would look like this;

[HardwareAcc]
NotSaveOpenDML=1

Changing the value to 0 would allow OpenDML (large files) but this may be incompatable with Video for Windows editing device drivers & their codecs.

Ah .. Could be !! Im exporting using Mjpeg_MainConcept V3.00b

Thanks for the tip on the .ini file I'll go take a looky.

Ok... I looked at the .ini file that you said but it didn't have anything to do with openDML.

The render quality is set low to just see if we could get it to render the whole she-bang.
