    I’m outputting movie files for someone in Vegas 7 on their PC, but it breaks the hour long project
    into 18:49 increments for some reason. Don’t see any setting for theis in the dialogues or preferences,
    and don’t get me started on the manual… What’s goin on here?

    Are you saving it to a FAT32 drive- if so, the file size is limited. Are the files usable? Do you have a loop region selected? Do you have an incremental script in play?

    What format are you saving to and from?

    It would seem you are rendering out your project
    to a FAT32 formatted Harddrive.
    If you answer the questions asked by Jeremy…We can
    however offer better assistance.

    max size gimme more of what I need here? And more importantly, should I copy my files currently

    OK…That explains it. FAT32 imposes a 4GB max size file
    limit, causing your files larger than that to break up
    in segments.
    Best to save everything on another harddrive while
    you reformat that FAT32 drive to NTSF.
    Then you are ready to go again without this segmented
    issue.
