Wow..”file size exceeded” I have 120 gigs left??
Please tell me one of you know how to fix this.
I have 122 gigs of disk space left on my external hard drive and pro is telleing me file size is exceeded.
I double checked to make sure it is being captured to my external hard drive.
It is 30 minutes of video from a dsr-250.
I last captured 1 hour of video from a vx-2000 and it only took up 20-25 gigs or so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -

Oh.. I am trying to do a IN and OUT point capture.

Is the external drive formatted as NTSC or PAL? How much space do you have left on your C: drive?
-
formatted as ntsc-c: drive =10 gigs or so.
I did play and hit record and recorded all the clips that way.
Still have 115 gigs or so left. 8.9 hours of video.
Very strange. -
Where did ‘drive formatted to ntsc’ come from? NTSC is a video standard, nnot a disk formatting standard.
PC hard drives are mostly formatted to FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS for PCs.
If you have FAT drives, there is a file size limit of 2 or 4 gigs.
If you have NTSC drives, which is probable for XP systems, the maximum file size is in the terrabyte range.
File size problems with AVI files are more often caused by the AVI format than by the disk format and mostly encountered by people capturing outside Premiere with software that allows capture in other formats (eg Type 1 v Type 2) than that used by Premiere.

Probably mean NTFS, where are your conformed audio files located, if on the C: that maybe your problem, conforming audio will eat up 10gigs fast, look in My Documents under Adobe, alot of people use a third drive for Conformed Audio, Scratch Disks, Previews, Misc files, etc.

Actually my comformed audio/render preview files are on my external as well.
Not using any outside programs. Capture straight from camera/card to external using p.pro only.
Logic would tell me, yes there is a limit of some sort. If you guys can’t figure it out, then it must not be something I can change in preferences or settings anywhere.
Strange? So far to me..yes. -
When NTFS first hit the streets there were comments from some people that larger files could only be fully utilised in the root folder of the volume. Haven’t found this problem myself, but it might be worth trying placing your files in the root of your drive to see if it helps.
