Are your D & E drives formatted with FAT32? If they are then that is most likely your problem - FAT32 can't have files bigger than 4GB - but NTFS can.

Make sure you use the 512 file allocation NTFS for maximum efficiency.

How can you tell if its fat 32 and if so, how can you change it? I have rendered some large files in Vegas 4 and forgotten to direct them to my external drive. When I try to copy them over, they won't go. I get an error message.

Also, when I try to render MPEG 2 in the DVD NTSC format onto my external drive, it hangs up after a few minutes and gives an error message (can't remember the exact one). But if I leave the render destination on my C drive, it renders perfectly all the way through. Does this shoot a hole in using a separate drive. I do all my editing and other rendering on the external drive, it's just the DVD NTSC format to prepare it for DVDA that hangs up.

I haven't burned a DVD with DVDA yet, but when I get this menu thing mastered, I'm looking forward to my first DVD!

Click Mycomputer, click the drive in question, click format, look at file
type and allocation but do not hit format unless you want to. I had a
problem where one drive had the 4000 file allocation and the other had
512. This causes much grief. It raises hell with VV-3. That might not be
your problem but it doesn't hurt to check.
