Hello all,

I am outputting a file to .mpg using the DVD setting in the Adobe Mpeg Encoder in Premiere. I did change it so it is DVD multiplexing, 4200 Bitrate, and 50% encoder quality. Once the file size reaches 3.00 GB Adobe reads "Unable to write picture data to the output file". Adobe doesn't say anything about the file size, I know this b/c when I look at the resulting file, it is always 3.00 or 3.03 GB in windows explorer.

The hard drive this is going onto has over 60 gigs available.

I'm running XP w/ NTFS formats on all drives. I have other .avi files that I've produced from capture that are 20 and 30 gigs and they play fine.

Please advise why I am getting this error or help point me in the right direction.

I have 2 gigs of ram as well running on a top rate home built machine of mine.

Thanks!
Brad
