VS Pro X5 - 4GB file size limit on NAS

Post by Hoopster »

I've been a long-time VideoStudio user and recently installed the trial of X5 (my last purchased version was X2, but, it's time for an upgrade :D ). VS X5 is installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit PC. If I capture to an internal NTFS drive, the tapes capture as a single ~19 GB AVI file; however, if I capture to my Linux NAS server with ReiserFS file system, VS breaks the captured files into 4GB chunks and I end up with five files per tape. There is no 4GB file limit on ResierFS. I have copied several 25+ GB blue-ray files to the NAS with no problem. ReiserFS has an 8TB file size limit. Captured through another video editing program, I do not have this problem. It appears that VS X5 assumes a 4GB limit on network devices (or, at least, on my Linux - ReiserFS NAS). Any way around this?

Easy to concatenate files in windows, eg at the dos prompt:

copy /B 0000.mts+0001.mts newone.mts

will create file newone.mts which has contents of 0000.mts followed by contents of 0001.mts

I think unix has something similar... Al
