Problematic AVIs rendered from Compressor
Every AVI video containing PCM audio and DV video that is larger than 4.25 GB is proving problematic to view with video software such as Pinnacle, Windows Media Player. I have no problem opening them in Media Player Classic which has proven to much more tolerant with video files. Is there something about the way Compressor creates larger AVIs (bigger than 4GB) that is leading to problems opening them with traditional video applications?
Running through GSPOT I receive the following output:
Bad chunk in frame data: Invalid length
· Chunk: /RIFF:AVI
· Offset: 0xc685450c
· Value:0xffffffff
DV Type 2 AVI
AVI v1.0
DV Audio/Video: 5.94 GB (94.90%)
AVI Copy of DV Audio: 324 MB (5.07%)
AVI Overhead: 2.43 MB (0.04%)I appreciate any help or details someone can shine on why Compressor renders large AVIs that are so problematic.

We have been writing directly to our NAS over the network which uses NTFS. So in this particularly instance I don’t think it is file system related.

It does sound like the 4GB file size limit. Could you export to a local HFS+ drive first and then copy the file to the NAS? I’ve seen the same problem when exporting PJPEG AVIs to be used in Windows Media Encoder.
