2GB Limit on Export?

[Dom Silverio]

There is no limit to QT export. I often make movies sizing up from 20-80GB.

Just make sure your system drive and target export drive is NTFS/HFS+.

Are you sure you’re not somehow accidentally creating an .avi file? There is a 2GB limit on them.

good luck,
Carl

Are you on OS 9 by any chance? Try exporting to a firewire drive.

HI There-

I need some clarification on the 2GB limit on export- some are saying thats the limit and others r saying there is no limit… so whats the drum?!
even the avid resller says u can’t change the 2GB limit but i hear guys here saying u can… obviously i am confused… I am talking about qucik time MOVIES just to clarify…

Anymore advice is greatly appreciated!

What OS, Avid, your drives are formatted how [NTFS/HFS/FAT32/etc], etc.?

[Jon Zanone]

The 2gb limit is an OS issue, not an Avid issue.

HI sorry for the delayed reply, my drives are NTFS… excuse my ignorance, still learning but what does that all have to do with it?
