AVI stopping short

I rendered my first big project a month or so ago, and I
found out about the file size limitation the hard way.
But, it explained why my render crapped out 80% through.
Now I am trying to render a 15 minute file. It seems to
render fine..I end up with a 3.5 gig file. however, when I
play it back with any media player, or the VF capture
program, it stops at 4min 43sec (corresponds to about a 1
gig file). Every time. Even when I print to tape. I
rendered it again and get the exact same thing. I can't
think of anything on my system I've changed since my
original "big" project. Any ideas?

have you tried using a stock template to render with, such
as NTSC DV?

I believe some where in the setup you can specify the file
size limit.
Did your video factor find your DV (camcorder). ?
