Magix split my file at ~2GB export

Postby Phantasmagoriat » Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:57 pm

Every time I export a file >2GB from Magix, it gets divided in two.

I join them together with vdub... but it's just... annoying.

Am I missing an export option here?

thanks.

i believe i heard magix splits at 2gb by default. i'm unaware if there's an option to turn it off

yeah, and it makes sense to make it default for compatibility with different systems.
...but.... annoyance :!:

maybe I'm just hoping

if you export as an uncompressed AVI (mind you, completely uncompressed - meaning no Huffyuv or Lagarith codecs used) or as a DV-AVI, I beleive that this breaks the 2 gig limit... but then you'd have to then compress it in VDubMod or whatever afterwards, so pick your poison..

I seem to recall being able to turn it off, but I must be mistaken. I hadn't had that problem with Movie Edit Pro 11, but maybe I just haven't had a need for an export over 2GB considering how short most of my videos are. I tried an export of 2.5gb and it split it. So I guess that's that. Appending in Vdub is the only way as it stands.

I actually am using Lagarith, with a < 3min video, but I won't tell you why it's breaks the 2GB limit... It's a secret.

Damn, I was getting the feeling that was the case. :(

...unless anyone else knows :?

He'd have to compress it in VDub afterwards anyway, if he's exporting it as Lagarith.

I think that my initial post was sort of unclear. As it's not mentioned what the OP's final output codec / container would be, my suggestion to take it into VDubMod and compress it to Huffy / Lags was only to save space on the HD, not as a means for the final output.

hope this wasn't lost in the confusion...

...naw, it's all good.

I have experimented with DV-AVI export in the past, but I've never used it as my "master final." If you're telling me that DV goes beyond the 2gig limit, that may get rid of the annoying file splitting, but I'm just kind of wondering if it is good for recompression [is DV usually interlaced?]

I believe that DV-AVI has an upper limit of 4gigs... although I haven't played with it. I don't know on your second question about if it's interlaced or no...

4gigs eh... well, it's something I might play around with. Thanks :wink:

For anyone else, my question is still open: Is it possible to export a file from Magix >2GB without being split? Although Ileia's probably right that appending afterwards in Vdub is the only way [...I can hope though...]

With DV-AVI the only limitation are the free space on your hard drive and the the maximum filesize that your OS can handle. But I wouldn't export to DV-AVI only for the sake of having one large file, because you'll have quality loss because it uses lossy compression. What's the problem with having 2 GB chunks? You can put them together in VirtualDub(Mod) with "File-> Append Segment".

And regarding your question: even in the latest version Magix will split any AVI (even uncompressed, that is often misunderstood since the DV-filmers often call DV-AVI uncompressed) beside DV-AVI in 2 GB parts.

There's an even bigger problem that I've only encountered with Magix. Hopefully you'll never have to deal with it.
