    Is your scratch disk formatted for Mac?

    I have the media on two drives, one that is FAT32 (USB 2.0) and one that is Mac OSX Journaled (Extended) FW800. The media was originally copied onto the FAT32 via a MacBook Pro. When I got back to the office, I thought the FAT32 format may be an issue, so I copied everything onto my FW800 drive. That is where I am currently pulling the footage from and copying the QTs to.

    That sounds fishy to me, Brian. That could be why you are having troubles as you are running in to file size limits.

    Actually, as it turns out, I double checked my scratch disk, and it is set for the FAT32 drive. I thought it was set up for the Mac drive. I can only assume that is the issue. I should’ve checked that a long time ago. I’ll run a test and check.

    Yes. Now this all makes sense.

    That was the issue. Man, do I feel like an ass. Oh well, at least it’s working. Thanks again for your patience and help!
