‘error -1309’ trying to copy file to MS/DOS drive—HEELLPPP!
Trying to deliver a .avi from edited show to a client so they can load on to their server for play back. Hopefully not the problem except been trying to get it to them for the last 2 days and cannot get this to work. MUST have for them by 7am tomorrow…and no closer to resolving this.
Here’s the deal—formatted a 160 gig FW 400 drive (disc utilty) MS/DOS, then trying to copy my output (I dumped it out of FC 5.1.4 to one of my drives) .avi to the MS/DOS drive and it gets thru about 20 of the 28 min. it says it needs and throws a ‘error -1309’ (‘file’s EOF, offset, mark or size is too big’, whatever that helpful bit of info means ) and stops.
Now it copied smaller files 2-3 gig no problem. But the full show which is 41 gig’s won’t go. TRied 3 other external dives and cases all MS/DOS, reformated and same thing.
Going to see if I can just do the output straight to the DOS drive instead of copying, but jezusonabike, I’ve done this pleanty before. And the output/encode takes about 4-5 hrs for the 17min HD show of course.
Didn’t think there was a limit on Win/DOS file sizes, but any thoughts appriciated.
DP G5 2.5 GHz, 3 Gig RAM, OS 10.4.8 FCP 5.1.4
Thanks in advance.

That drive format cannot hold files that are larger then 2GB some of your files are larger.
You must ether split the video files, give them a mac formated drive or format the drive NTFS on a windows computer and copy the files over a network.
MS/DOS aka Fat32 is a VARY old format back when it was created the thought of having a file that was larger then 2GB was imaginable.

I believe the individual file size limit on fat32 is 4gig.

Your only solution at this late hour is to deliver to them on a drive formated for MAC and tell the client they will need to load MACDrive on their computer in order to mount the drive and load yur file to their server.
