Anyone seen this when burning cd's?

Trying to burn data dvd's. Have already been successful with about 6 of them. I'm using Ulead with the Pioneer I bought.

I'm trying to burn an avi file just over 4 gigs when I get - for the first time-
"The file is over 4 GB which has exceeded the ISO 9660 file system limitation."

I don't get it. I didn't do anything different. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Thomas

You burning from the ISO file, or from the project each time? If from the project, Ulead stacks information (by default in your My Documents folder) that is part of the project. Weve run into this a couple times, but burning from the ISO fixes it.
DVD Moviefactory, right?

Yes, Moviefactory. I don't know the difference between the project and the ISO. I have actually moved the file from one computer to another and then I burn from there. I don't know how to burn from the ISO.

Another thing that is weird. When I choose to burn a DVD, the software has stopped opening to a full window. It docks but then I have to choose maximize to get it to open.

Should I uninstall/install. I have already rebooted to the same problem.

I think there is a patch on their site....might check it.

Their last patch was August of last year. I reloaded. Same thing.

6 successful dvd's.

Anyone recommend reliable dvd burning software?

I haven't used it for burning DVD ROMs but Nero does seem to be the standard for burning. For burning DVD ROMs I use RecordNow that came with my Sony burner and it works a treat although it is a bit twee, probably tries too hard to make it simple but I've used it to burn DVD-Video with extra files added, play fine, data can be read fine.
Can't ask for much more.

I have the same problem, attempted to burn from the ISO file, but I keep running into the 4gig road block, I actually assumed this was a limitation until I read your post. I thought I could archive some of my AVI files on DVD data disk for safe keeping until I needed them rather than re-capturing. I was hoping of using this metho to store my MPEG-2 renders when not needed to burn standard DVD's.

I used Nero in conjunction with DVDa last weekend. 15 successful burns no prob,ems. Seems a bit faster than DVDA but it could have been the difference in processor (2.6 ghz vs 3.0 ghz).
