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.

Re: rendering stops at 3.99gb. why???
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 You need to reformat that puppy either way, fat32 is outdated and not of much use in the A/V realm.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!

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..

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.
