4GB LIMIT ON VIDEO CAPTURE????

[T Wecker]

I have been capturing video (4.6GB files) to a 120 GB IDE
ATA100 NTFS hard drive on my computer (Win XP, PCI-
Firewire). I installed a used 6GB ATA66 drive to capture
video but the capture ends and my capture software gives
me an error that the capture has ended early because the
drive is full. The drive has captured only 4GB, the disk
isn't full. I found out the drive was formatted as FAT32
which only supports files up to 4GB. After reformatting
to NTFS I continue to have the size limit of only 4GB.

Anybody know how to correct this? Capture software is
Ulead Video Studio 6 with updates.

Why post such a problem. Why screw around with a small drive for capturing
4.6 GB file when it takes a lot more space to process a whole DVD full of
files. I image you do not have this problem on the larger drives. On of
the biggest reason people upgrade computers and large hard drive is to
process video and you want to regress to a puny HD.

2 reasons I have for using a small drive for video capture
(direct to MPEG2).

#1. I get dropped frames unless I defragged before every
capture. How long does it take to defrag a 160 GB drive?
How about a 6 GB drive?

#2. It was free!

Now if I can just get it to capture fron 4 GB to 4.6 GB...

GET A FASTER DRIVE!! (SCSI) It won't drop frames.

#2. It was free!

Thats no excuse to use such a crappy drive, it takes a
couple of gigs just to process the capture and encode
thats why it thinks the drive is full. You will NEVER over
come that barrier.

Yuo know thick idiots like Donald link and jeff guest should just say i dont know instead of spouting a load of crap, maybe they should get on a course to learn about computing, dont reply to a question when you couldn't analyse your way out of a wet paper bag... SCHMUCKS
