Pinnacle studio 7.0 Question

[cdcox]

I use studio 7.0 to capture and edit, my problem is this, I use win 98se so the way I work around the 4 gig file size is this, I work in 15 min segments have studio encode to .avi then use tmpgenc to encode mpeg2 and join them all together with tmpgenc to get my final movie. I get good result however it is real easy if your 15 min segment can fade to a color or black. If I need to cut in the middle of a scene i want to keep, it gets a litter harder because I end up timing a dot fade on clip 1 and 2 then using tmpgenc to encode and set the source range on both clip to the center of the dot fade then join the two together. It works but i was wondering if there was a good mpeg4 encoder that will work in studio7. I have used the ones that came with studio and they work in tmpgenc however sometimes the mpge4 (or .avi as it is named) is blocky. Of course blocky into tmpgenc blocky out. Or if anyone has any other suggestions on what would be eaiser, I welcome your comments.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Based on your profile, you've got a DVD burner and huge hard drives. I would suggest you move to an operating system that supports files larger than 4 gig.

What I did is create a dual-boot system so I could keep all my 98se stuff intact, but have another partition with Windows 2000.

Sorry cdcox, I am not sure if I understand what do you do and what is your question. Could you please repeat it somehow differently ?
