File size

rebantot wrote on 8/27/2001, 9:30 AM

I recently edited my niece's birthday party. To make a
long story short, it's over 4gb in size (render as avi, compression=indeo intel, audio compression=mpeg3).
As soon as it hit the 4gb size, vegas showed an error message saying that it can not open file or something. I know vegas video supports file bigger than 4gb, my HDD has enough room to accomodate the file. I believe it's my O/S that is the root of my problem. I use Windows Millenium with 700mb RAM, 30gb HDD. Does anybody know how fix this problem? Can anyone help?

Ok, I found out by reading that Windows ME does not support files bigger than 4gb, however, it also stats that VF segments files bigger than 4gb. Is there a setting in Vegas video where I can configure this during rendering? How do I access it?

Are you printing this to tape? VideoFactory 2 allows you to use the print to tape wizard to render a chain of avi files and send those out the video capture tool-just follow the wizard steps and when rendering is done the files will playback in sequence out through 1394 (or your mjpeg capture card) to your camera.

Not supported in VideoFactory 1.

Vegas Video does not have a setting for this. You just need to update your version to 2.0g. I recommend uninstalling the Vegas Video you have on the drive and reinstalling from the 2.0g installer, downloaded from here.

From the release notes on the page: The new Vegas .avi plug-in auto-segments avi files during render (a new file segment is created once you hit the system file size limit.)

The only thing is that the print to tape function does not appear to have the chain AVI's option.
