5gb limit on NTFS Drive? Why am I still limited to 5gigs wit

[eprunner06]

I just bought a new hard drive. Western Digital 40 gig 7200RPM. I have Windows 2000. I am still experiancing being limited to 4gigs with my new hard drive. I formatted it to NTFS. The only thing that I can think of that might be the prob is that my system drive has FAT32 on it. I dont want to have to reload windows just to find out if thats even the problem. I am Using Ulead Video Studio 4.0, that is what says that i can't go over 5 gigs. And yes that is 5 gigs not 4 gigs. Please help!
Thank You!

I'm having the same problem, i've tried 3 different programs and the 3 do the same, Ligos explained to me that this is a ramdom limitation of AVI files, it happens from system to system and depending on the codec.
I've been able to capture Type 1 DV files 11.4 GB long, but if I try using Main Actor DV, or uncompressed AVI it will not get passed 5 GB, and when I play the video the last GB encoded will only play trash.

This sucks! Thanks Bill (Gates).

You don't have to re-install win2k to get to NTFS from FAT32; but you will have to reinstall to go back to FAT32 if you wanted to.

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

It sounds like your problem might be a Ulead limitation in this case? http://www.ulead.co.uk/tech/vs50faq_02.htm#2

I have no problem with Adobe Premiere 6 and NTFS.

I'm using Ulead Video Studio v5.0 and Win2K. My drive is NTFS and I haven't run into any size limitations on avi files, I got one pushing 19 gigs on my drive now.
