Max File Size

First of all I'm a newbie. So, I apologize up front for my question. I've searched the posts to help solve my problem but have not found an answer. If my question has been answered, please direct me to the post.

Back Ground
I am able to render AVCHD files from my Sony HD Video camera and burn direct to Blu-ray DVD as long as the rendered file is less than 5GB.
The Project properties are: HD 1080-60i (1920X1080, 29.97 fps)
The Burn Blu-ray Disc setting are: MPEG-2, Blu-ray 1440x1080-60i, Sony Wave64, 48,00hz, 16Bit, 5.1, PCM

Question:
If possible, I'd like to render a video as above with a file size of 32GB (Year in Review of our family). I get an error after the rendering is complete and during the imaging portion. I've emailed Sony support and they said I should not be having a problem. They suggested I upgrade to VS 10. I've tried the trial version with no success if the file is larger than 5GB as well.

Error message:
1) device has not enough memory. Yet, my hard drive has 72GB or memory and the Blu-ray disk is 50GB
2) I've seen a Device I/O error.
3) An other error I had but seem to have resolved is: STREAM/00001.m2ts Status: TSWrapper.dll::CTSWrapper::ProcThreadMain::Failed to read ES file. - The ES file may be shorter than the size described in the MUI file.

On the forum, I've read posts explaining the file size should be less than 4.7GB ans maybe 2.5 hrs of video, I may have taken this out of context because I picked it up in other threads not seemingly related.

I'd appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction.
Thank you.
Carl

A standard DVD would hold about 20-30 minutes of HD video, depending on the bitrate. That's 4.35 GB of program material, the most that will fit on a 4.7 GB disc.
And it won't play on most SD DVD players.

If you render your AVCHD down to Standard Definition first, DVD format will hold about 2 hours with fairly good quality.

I think what you really want is a BluRay burner and media to show off your HD video to your family on HDTV.

Yes, it's true. I do wish to burn a Blu-ray DVD to play on HDTV. I do have a Blu-ray burner in my Sony VGN Z90DLX and am using a 50GB Blu-ray DVD.

I seem to have two problems.
1) I cannot render to my hard drive a video segment larger than 5 GB
2) My blu-ray burner gives me an error while transferring / burning large data files - 0x8007045D The request could not be preformed because of an I/O device error.

You mention that you have 72Gb free on your hard drive. I'm not sure how big tyour BD file will be but if you are expecting a 50GB file ready for burning to BD you may be seriously short on space.

Any chance you could add your system specs to your profie.

From your timeline can you render to any template and get a file greater than 5GB?

Thanks. My original BD file was 32GB. I made a few changes to bring it down to 23GB. I just upgraded to VMS DD Platinum 11.0 two days ago. Amazingly the project rendered last night (17hrs). So, there appears to have been an issue with VMS 9.0 and 10.0 for larger files sizes (greater than 5GB as I could render and burn BD less than 5GB without issue). Now my next challenge will be to burn it to a BD disk as I only rendered it to my hard drive to eliminate error sources.

My system is Sony VGN 790 DLX with Intel Core2 Duo CPU P9700, 2,80GHz, 8.0GB RAM, 64-bit operating system (Windows 7 Professional)
