  • Crashes when 4GB filesize reached.. ON NTFS!

    Posted by Jeffery Chabotte on October 23, 2009 at 5:45 am

    Well, that’s pretty much it. Vegas Pro 8.

    Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit with SP1.
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ @ 2.7GHZ
    8 GB of RAM

    Connected to SATA Drives formatted to NTFS

    Should be no problem right?

    However, when i am rendering a project, when it hits exactly 4GB, it crashes. Unknown Error. I know 4GB is a limit on FAT32.. but I have no FAT32 drives. I’ve tried it on all 3 drives. I’m rendering out to AVC format MP4 file at 1280×720.

    Total project length is 5hr 15m (it’s 3 movies edited together.) consisting of 6 files total (3 Video and 3 Audio)

    the 4GB length is about 36 % and takes roughly 8hrs 30m to get there and crash. I run these overnight with no other processes going other than maybe a web browser.

    Any clues?

    Hi Jeffrey
    What a big project you busy with. Maybe you should try under preferences general tab and enable “Allow Wave renders up to 4 GIG”
    it’s worth the try…
