Any way to save a file that is over 4GB in Win 98 SE?

There has got to be some way of doing it, isn't there?

Not exactly what you're looking for, but would allow you to partition HD as NTFS

No single file in fat32 can be larger than 4GB. You can segment files, such as what virtualdub can to: it seamlessly branches to a new file, so the two(or more) can be read later as a single file (so you get a string of 2GB files for your 40GB set that is read as one file). It all depends on what you intend to do with the file (and the filetype) as to how you get more than 4GB of data working together.

Unless you convert to NTFS, no file can be larger than 4GB.

ok, so if i segment the files, then how do i encode the whole thing? would i have to frameserve or somethin?

[metoo2]

If you use Virtualdub to capture, set it up to segment, and when you open the first video file created, it will append all of the rest automatically. Then use Vd to create your divx file, or frameserve the file to your re-encoder of choice.

[PlaiBoi]

will frameserving with vdub create as good as quality as if i just had opened the file by itself with tmgpenc?

[kenmo]

There would be NO quality loss using frameserving.

[Thorn]

Frameserving won't affect quality, but it can add some time to the processing. You can also filter the video on the fly in virtualdub before it frameserves it, but that's only a good idea if you're doing a single pass encode (or have a lot of time to spare). I heard that TMPGenc handles segmented files, but I haven't tried it.
