hi, I have vegas 5.0 and am rendering a larger file but the file always seems to stop at 3.99 gb. Does anyone know why. Is there some setting I missed or something.

I might have found one of my problems. My external hard drive that I am using is formatted using the fat32 system not NTFS I wonder if this is the problem???

Could be the FAT32 or the OS you are using. Some OS configs have a 4gb file size limitation, but I bet it's the FAT32. You need to reformat that puppy either way, fat32 is outdated and not of much use in the A/V realm. Good luck!

Yes NTFS must be used.
VV5 will only run on WinXP.
How you got fat32 on XP, did you upgrade from 98 maybe?

A lot of lower end PC's will ship with FAT32 formatted drives on windows XP. *I don't know why, but I have seen it many times, especially from Dell.

Many times, external hard drives will come formatted that way, too. Mac compatibility, you see . . .

This is correct. The external drive I use, I use with both XP and OS10 and it is formatted with fat32. I have not yet run into this concern because all of my clips have been less than 4gigs.My concern is that I can't reformat my LaCie drive and still use it with both platforms--correct? I didn't think mac understood NTFS. Otherwise my other 4 hard drives in my computer all are formatted NTFS with XP. I guess I will just have to improvise knowing if I have a file larger that 4gigs I need to use my other drives. Thanks for the replies..

Yeah, IIRC the requirements are Windows 2000, XP Home or XP Pro. Does anyone know if VV5 works ok in XP Media Center?

After Service Pack 2, I don't believe there are any remaining distinct versions of XP. It's just XP.
Though, if you're still using XP Media Center, there should be no issues.
