  • Problem exporting Quickime Movie to Windows share

    Posted by Jack Mcgee on March 8, 2007 at 1:20 am

    If I try to export self contained quicktime movie to a drive on windows computer on the network, it get’s split into 2 gig chunks. If I export it to the Mac, then copy the resulting 5 gig file to the same Windows computer, it copies as a 5 gig file.

    What is causing FCP to split this thing up?

    The format of the Windows drive. FAT32 has a file size limit of 2GB. No such limit with a Mac format.

    What do Windows PCs that have NLEs on them do in cases like this? I have always wondered.

    The Windows machine has NTFS drive. We are able to copy a 5 gig file as one file to the same windows machine.
