HELP: MPGEnc Newbie Problems

[Xandy]

Hi,
I'm running TMPGEnc on Virtual PC on a Mac in case that makes much difference here. It's running Windows Me, which I'm not too familiar with. I'm encoding to MPEG2 for DVD authoring, so I'm often starting with very large files- 20-30 GB. It seems that when I try to import the larger files (like even 4 GB), I get a message saying that TMPGEnc can't read it or it isn't valid. However, I have successfully encoded smaller files (few hundred MB). So I'm guessing this is a file size issue. My question is, is this in the TMPGEnc, or the OS? Would upgrading to Windows 2000 help? And finally, is there any other workaround? Thanks a million for any help. I really appreciate it.
