I have a strange problem that has arisen during the past year's updates (not exactly sure when it started). If I create a Muvizu file, in any codec, that is over 2gb in size then that file is unreadable to most media players and all editors. 32bit, 64bit, old version, new version, it makes no difference. If it's under 2gb all is fine.

I did all the usual stuff you'd expect - updating drivers and codecs and the like, and resorted to reinstalling windows (7 64 Ult) but nothing makes any difference. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, please let me know - I can't work out what the source of the problem is, so any info would help.



The problem is with the type of AVI file we generate. We generate what would be called a version 1.00 AVI, there's a standard API in Windows (called Video for Windows) which can be used to generate these clips. We used this because, well, it was quick and easy to implement. These clips have an internal limit of 2GB in size - I could bore you with the technical details as to why, but I won't bother.

We are planning to change the way the files are written to use another API which will support avis greater than 2Gb in size. But as ever, it's on the long and growing list - and there are higher priorities at the moment - so I cannot say when this will happen.

Usually if you are using a codec of some variety, then you generally should end up with files quite a bit under the 2GB limit, though I guess that's not always going to be the case.]]> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:41:26 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1375-2gb-limit.aspx Message from sanjitill ziggy72 wrote:

I'm noticing the same thing myself. I don't know what editors you guys are using, but with Windows Movie Maker, I can't import a Muvizu file bigger than 2 GB.]]> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 03:13:53 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1375-2gb-limit.aspx Message from mysto
Win 7 pro 64bit SP1
i7 870 (upgraded from i5)
12 gig ram
intel DP55WG mainboard
ATI FirePro 4800
2 SATA drives (500gb-1000gb)
1 External 500gb usb drive

I have various usb devices that I use every now and then but they aren't plugged in all the time. I have a virus and malware program running in the background but nothing else and I'm running the 64bit version of Muvizu as well. I'm wondering if it may be an issue with one of the device drivers installed on my system.

Here lately I've been creating my videos in pieces and editing them together so I haven't encountered the problem recently. Very strange...

I'm not sure what's causing the problem either but I'm glad you mentioned it because I thought I was the only one having this issue.]]> Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:15:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1375-2gb-limit.aspx Message from ziggy72
