FAT32 Drive and Saving From Sony Vegas 6.0

Post by Kero777 » Mon May 07, 2007 7:24 pm

Over the past couple of days, I've learned about saving AMVs as a lossless .avi file with Lagarith, HuffYuv, etc codecs. (I wish I could get those files to save and play correctly. :? Lol). Anyway, my drive is FAT32 instead of NTFS (I upgraded from Windows 98 to XP a year ago) and I was reading up about saving those large files from Vegas on FAT32 here. I'm pretty sure saving my lossless .avi file for my next AMV will take up to 6 GB until it's compressed, but space is not the problem. I have more than enough for it. I head 2 GB per video is the limit for FAT32. The guide said:
If you are using Windows 2000 or XP make sure that you export to a hard drive that uses the NTFS file system otherwise long amvs might exceed the 2 gig file limit on old FAT32 drives. If you are running windows 98 then you are going to be limited to 2 gig - if you can't export the whole movie for this reason then you will have to select a frame range and export it in two or more sections. You can join these later in AVIsynth...
I was wondering if anyone else has had to do this (save their video in sections) because their drive is FAT32. I really don't mind at all, but the only thing I'm worried about is if the video and audio will still run smoothly and I'm somewhat confused about the process (How would I clip the clips exactly where the next part of the song/video was so it doesn't sound clipped?)

I apologize for all the questions. I'm very confused (*Is someone who jumped from WMM to Vegas and goes :? :?: with some computer terms* :P). Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this whole thing and tries to help. I appreciate it so much. Everyone is so helpful on these forums. :)

export your audio separately as a WAV file that should keep it from jumping... and stitch it all together in Virtualdub Mod

Thanks for your help. I'm worried that the audio then might be mismatched from the clips after that, but I guess at this point it couldn't hurt to try. :P

Lol! Thanks for your answer and for the giggle! :D I can do that? I thought so... but when I went to get more hard drive space put into my computer months ago, I asked the guy who was working on it about converting from FAT32 to NTFS and I was asking him if I'd lose any files, information etc. which I still need when I convert... He told me once I chose the option not to do so when I installed Windows XP that I wouldn't be able to after. I swore I read somewhere that I was able to. If I can, would it erase the files I saved on my computer when I had Windows 98 after I convert? I'm such an goober, I'm sorry. :P For one thing, I just realized that this is pretty much in the wrong forum. *Slaps self* Lol.

You rock, Pwolf! Thanks so much! :D 'Tis exactly was I was looking for.

So I can keep all the files I have on my computer by converting instead of formatting?

This makes Kero777 very happy. :P Thanks!

:shock: I will be backing up all my information on an external hard drive and will create a system restore point just in case. :sweat: Thank you for warning me to be extra careful.
