Filesize on a Fat32 system - GoFuckYourself.com

Keep getting this error when rendering a video...

"File size can not exceed 4gig on a Fat32 system".

Any known workaround for this? Aside from making a smaller file. It's WinXp Pro.

Convert from FAT32 to NTFS. I believe there are several program that will do that. Not sure if there is something built into XP but I think Partition Magic will do it or possibly norton utilities.

I was tempted to do this, but I heard dumping Fat32 will cause all kinds of problems on XP.

Crap.

I'm not sure about that. But when you buy a new computer with XP on it, the hard drive is formatted with the NTFS so I know that XP doesn't have problems in general with NTFS. Upgrading or converting may be a different matter. I've never done it before, I just noticed that Partition Magic does it when I used it to split a partition on my laptop.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other way to handle large file sizes other than NTFS.
