Export File Size Limit Bug??? 2Gig Limit?
Hi
In my system settings, under “Scratch Disc”, I have my “Limit Capture/Export File Segment Size To:” set to 4300MB.While capturing my files are made to be that size. My problem is when I’m exporting Uncompressed Quicktime Movies. They are coming out in 2gig chunks.
This makes no sense to me as I have set the size to larger. I have the newest Mac Pro running OS 10.4.11, and a big empty hard drive.
????? Is there another place to set the Export file size limit????
HELP!
Thanks
Chad

Sounds like the drive it’s going to isn’t correctly formatted. Is it formatted as Mac OS Extended?
All the best,

Hey Tom
Yes the drive is formatted as “Extended”. I have had the same thing happen using another drive too. I was exporting as “Quick Time Movie” and had no luck. I did just try exporting using “Quick Time Conversion” set to DV / NTSC and the movie came out as a 2.9 gig file. So I have a work around now, but I’d like to know why it doesn’t work while just exporting an uncompressed Quicktime Movie.
Could Quicktime have something to do with it?

2GB chunks are part of PC formatted drives
