Maximu FileSize Exceeded, ERROR…
Hey creative cow gurus,
While I’m capturing footage into premiere pro 2.0, after about 15minutes into it I’ve gotten a recorder error message saying “MAXIMUM FILESIZE EXCEEDED”.
I’m capturing the footage from my DVX100b into a 24pa project.
There’s ample space left on my drive, so is there any file limit setting I’m overlooking?
Cheers!

Make sure your file system is not fat32, it should be NTFS to be able to use large files.

please excuse my ignorance, but this NTFS setting could be found where exactly?
Thanks!

Let’s assume you are using an external USB hard drive.
Fat32 is a W98 compatable format. NTFS is not W98 compatable.
Unfortunately, FAT32 formatted drives are limited to a maximum filesize of slightly less than 4GB.
If you change the drive format type to NTFS, you will be able to exceed 4Gb, but that drive will never be seen by a W98 computer afterward.
Win some, loose some. (All my USB external drives are now NTFS, it simplifies things!)

Open My Computer and you will see you drives listed, right clik on the drive letter you are using for video(best if its a separate drive from the OS and apps.) select properties, if the drive is listed as fat32 you can convert it to NTFS, first defrag the drive by using the defrag in tools in the properties window, when defraged, when done close the windows, goto Start menu, clik on Run, type Convert X: /FS:NTFS, substitute the drive letter you want to convert for X:, click Run, your disk will be converted to NTFS
