Why can't you convert to NTFS? Since you didn't fill in your computer details, I assume it's because you are not using XP....
There's really no way around it. That I know of. -
Does your capturing application allow you to split files at 4 gig.?
I use InterVideo MSI PVS (Personal Video Station ) with my card, and that is a default setting with 98SE, have not tried it with 2000 or XP so it may not default there.
I do believe it is not possible to make a larger file with FAT 32 due to 32 bit numbering and cluster size, and think only 28 bits are actually used to count clusters.

The only solution for the FAT32 file size limitation is NTFS.

A couple of choices...
1 - good) Change your OS so that you can use a better file system. FAT32 should not be used for video, you'll regret it soon enough. Both NT/XP/Mac/Linux will work fine.
2 - not so good) Change your capturing application so that it limits capture to less than 4 G.Terje A. Bergesen
