Capturing filesize limit

[paul g]

I have several hours of footage I need to encode.

Since that will take a huge amount of disk space I was encoding to a portable hard drive. But after about 25 minutes I get an error that that file size has been exceeded.

Is there a way I can increase that? Or do I just have to stop the encoding every 20 minutes or so?

Any advice would be great, thanks!

Have you done any searching around on this one yet? I did a quick search and come up with this for your consideration. It would be OK for you to add more details, but.....

Is the drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? Apparently FAT32 does not allow file sizes over 4 GB.

Check out the following link from Adobe Premiere Elements User to User Forum.
Specifically drop to posts numbered 24, 25, and 26 within the topic. They appear to fall right into the pattern that you describe.
