An error occured while creating the media file Chase.avi.
An error occured writing the file. Make sure you have write access to the file/folder and that there is enough free space. I have used 15g of 60g 7500rpm on a raid controller card to capture and create the project. CPU: AMD K7 700mhz, 394k ram, Asus 756 chipset. The rendering gets to 5% each time then crashes. What's going on with VF? I need help bad.
Thanks T. Smith

What format or compression are you making the AVI?

Do you have only one hard drive?

Does it crash at the same point each time?

Format: NTSC DV 720x480 29.970fps
2 hard drives: OS and programs 20g
Files and Project and Rendering: 60g 7200rpm on controller card.
Crashes at same point each time. I found out it is because of the 4g limit.
Is there anyway around this? Thanks

Are you using Video Factory 1.0 or 2.0?

Version 2.0 will automatically split your output into separate 4GB files as
necessary. VidCap 2.5 will print them sequetially to tape with no gaps.

Like Chienworks said, VF2 should break the file into 4 gig files automatically.

The only way around it permanently is to use Windows 2000 or XP and format your harddrives as NTFS. But be aware that not all software and hardware drivers will work under these OS's.

The other option is to break your program into smaller segments with a fade to black ( or something ) in between segments, then assemble them to the camera or VCR on output.

This is a limitation of the FAT32 harddrive format which is used by Win98 and WinME.
