Drive C:\ (FAT32) does not support files > 4 GB HELP!!!!

[BwfcHorwich]

Does this message mean i cannot rip dvd's to my hard drive that are over 4gb?

[necy]

yes the fat32 filesystem doesnt support files larger than that. You must have a ntfs file system. Try to use partition magic... bye

[freestyler]

the maximum size of each file on the dvd is 1 gb, i don't see why you would have any problems ripping the dvds in file mode

[BwfcHorwich]

cheers guys..i'll give it a go once i have got some software...i've been struggling getting the stuff 2 work.
1st time downloaded dvdshrink-had problems saying i didnt have some file on my pc that i needed.

just trying to find some decent software that works!!!!

I've used Smartripper for years, when I dvd-ripped a few disks I own.
I've never had an issue w/ filesize limits (or FAT32 4gig limit) guy.

Shrink was probably complaining that you didn't rip ALL of the
DVD files. DVDdecrypter doesn't get all of them by default

Do a search of the microsoft site for convert fat 32 to ntfs its very easy to do its just a couple of lines in the run command and only takes a few secs even for a 120 gig drive

[andkiich]

What OS are you using, because if it's an older one, converting to NTFS may not be an option.

[BwfcHorwich]

im running 98

[johnnyfrancisco]

file mode in dvd decrypter will solve that for you

[QuaiBoy]

Converting to NTFS in 98 is not an option - do not try it!
As johnnyfrancisco said, DVD Decrypter in file mode is your best bet.

Good luck,

I think I understand what BwfcHorwich was on about w/ the DVD being
beyond the 4g limit. At first, he threw me off, cause "usually" movies are
in 4's. That is, 1gig per ~20 minutes, sometimes 5's.

But, after re-reading and hearing what others had to say on this, I now
realise that it's possible. In one of my DVD's, there is a 7gig file and no
other things like menus and stuff. Its a really cheap DVD ($5 bucks) and
I could not rip it to my hd in 1gig limitis w/ smartripper. I don't remember
the movie title. Anyways.. I ended up using Decrypter v2.4 (is what I have)
and it worked fine for me. I only needed a small section for testing some
thing out

But, one thing puzzels me. I thought that the 4gig limit was related to the
older style .AVI file format and those apps that were subjected to its limited
"file structure" as such. I know there is no limit to file sizes, even under
Windows 98, at least I believe so. I know that MS Access has a 1 gig limit
on it's structure. I know this, cause we made the mistake of trying to import
a .txt data file that pushed it's 980mb size, well over the 1 gig, and it crashed
beyond repair. That was an isolated insident, of which'iz ben resolved, no
thanks to our daily backups

But, do correct me if I'm wrong.

1) The avi file limit in old avi files is 2 gig
2)There is no such thing as a DVD with a 7 gig file o it........ UDF file system that DVD's use allows for 1 gig filesize max.

fat32 file size limit is 4 gig.

Rpping in file mode will not be a problem.

Trying to make an image of it, forget it.

[jimmalenko]

FAT size limitations will have no bearing on ripping DVDs ecause all VOBS are split at 1GB.

[vhelp]

I tell you.. I'm not crazy !!

I have a DVD title I bought at k-mart (I think) and I distinkively remember
having the worse time w/ this one because it would not rip to my hd no
matter what I did. I had roughly 2gigs to spare, and all I wanted was a
1 gig file (vob) or even half or less, just so long as I had a piece to work
with (at the time I was messing around) It became a challeng because I
had plenty of hd space (2gig) and I was using smartripper (all versions)
and even setting various sizes smaller than a 1 gig, and even checked the
[x] Ignore low diskspace and still would not rip even a portion of the
vobs (at the time I would were 4 vobs) Then, I looked, and behold, the
thing was 7gig (one big file)
.
.
I continued trying to break it into pieces (even one) but to no avail. Later,
I found an older version Decrypter v2.4 and use that, and I was finally
able to break a small piece of the vob. Shesh. I was just exploring an
ideal I had at the time. Anyways..

I'm looking for that disk now. I'll let you know what DVD title it is. It's just
that I have well over a hundred of these DVDs and they are all over the
place. szwhat happens when you're having fun.

It certainly does not comply with the DVD standard. The other thing you could try is to make sure that smartripper is set to split files at 1 GB and only rip a few chapters or cells.

P.S. 2GB is not heaps of free space.

No, it's not. But, for what I needed in the VOB, it was MORE than enough.
I only needed like 100mb or so or less. I was working on a "field-order"
issue, and I needed to see if THAT dvd title could help (experimental of
course)

I'm still looking for that DVD. Based on what you all are saying, it must be
non-standard, of them to be making 7gig disks. But, my memory serves
me well, and I (ok, just for today) recall not seeing much to the disk, not
like I've seen on many others. Anyways..

[duhmez]

vhelp, you had the merge vobs options checked it ooks like. That will make one big vob.

[vhelp]

@ duhmez,

If that is true, than the jokes on me, and I was pretty and
at the time. Hmm.. maybe that's why? I can't seem to find that DVD title ?
hehe..

I didn't know that there were a "merge" feature in smartripper. But still,
no other dvd type ripper app would handle my issue, till I found decrypter.

Thanks guys,

DVD Decrypter will rip an ISO image that is over 4 Gigs to a FAT32 drive . It splits the image . If you look in the options under the ISO tab you will see the settings window for file splitting .
