  • error; render exceeds max file size

    Posted by Kevin Mccarthy on April 7, 2015 at 5:00 am

    I am trying to render a 3hr 7 min audio file to a wav file to process in my external audio editor. I get a message that render exceeds max file size.

    I have never seen this one before and I can’t find anywhere to adjust limitations

    Any ideas?

    I am curious to know, from where did the file originate, how was it created?

    It is a file from an imported DVD and I usually have no problem qith this type of render from this source

    [Kevin McCarthy] “render exceeds max file size”

    Just out of curiosity, are your hard drives formatted to fat, fat32 or ntfs?

    My system specs: Intel i7 970, 12GB RAM, ASUS P6T, Vegas Pro 12 (x64), Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Vegas Production Assistant 1.0, VASST Ultimate S Pro 4.1, Neat Video Pro 2.6

    Yes drives are fine and nothing has changed except for the fact that I had just installed the latest update
    Would that have re-set the time line length and if so how do I extend the time line length? I can’t find that setting
    I don’t think this is the problem though as both audio and video are already on the time line and work well

    Still no solution. I tried to use the “open in external audio program” and it too says render exceed maximum file size for this format

    Try outputting to Wav64, or segmenting the output, or use a compressor like AC3, MP4/MP3. File size limitation was one of the main reasons for WAV64.

    Well the only thing I can suggest is to do an analog transfer. Record it to the workstation or an external recorder.
