Update...

My previous information <A HREF="http://www.ece.utexas.edu/projects/ece/lca/courses/382n/presentations/AMD_Hammer.ppt" target="_new">here</A> claimed Hammer would use 48bit virtual addressing and 40bit physical addressing.
<A HREF="http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/x86-64_overview.pdf" target="_new">This</A> article from AMD states the Hammer will use 32bit addressing in Compatability/Legacy mode and 64bit addressing in 64bit/Long mode.
So if you use a 64bit OS you can access upto 16EB(Exabytes)

(for the numerically challenged an exabyte is 1 billion gigabytes)

Flame not, lest ye be phlegmed.

it has nothing to do with the cpu. yes, the limitation you are seeing is because of the fat32 file system. i forgot the formula (there is one i think). but there's no way fat32 can support a 4gig file. ntfs is unlimited, at least with the files i've thrown at it. 12gb was the biggest one.

[insert philosophical statement here]

You are talking about hard drive limitations as explained <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prkc_fil_tdrn.asp" target="_new">here</A>, and yes NTFS can in theory have a 16EB volume.
I believe, however that Jihiggs was talking about memory(RAM). If not, oh well.

im having touble with the 4GB file size limitation as well.
i do a lot of DVD ripping and my main problem is joining the ripped DivX avis back into a single file. at the moment im only having minimal sucess with VirtualDub. i lose sound sync at the join and i cant seem to correct it.

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

Ahh I thought it pretty much had to be video because almost nothing else takes up so much room. Because of the way you are capturing you are taking up more room then you need to and loosing quality in the process. I just can't imagine why you would want such huge files clogging up your hd when you could have hundereds of smaller divx movies in the same space.

Have you tried a Smartrip/Flask combination? That should be about the easiest. Vobs are usually never over 1GB each and do not need to be joined before converting.

If you feel brave my favorite is Fair Use. Fair Use is an all in one ripper/autocropper/autosizer/converter. The only problem with FU is that it does not do sound like Flask does. Other then sound FU is super easy to use. If you decide to try FU you will need:

Fair use .30 beta, use this to rip sound to ac3 and vid to fud.

BeSweet, use BeSweet to convert audio from ac3 to mp3.

Nandub, use Nandub to join the sound and video back together.

Tips:
Use a constant bit rate of around 112 for audio.

During the copping phase of FU chop a little of the end of the movie off. Sometimes the sound or video do not end at the same point and this can throw the sync off.

dude! you are the bomb!! fair use is the only program that could copy these videos correctly! i am trying to copy the simpsons episodes off dvd, no matter what i tried i couldnt get the audio to sync up right. it didnt just start off late and stay that way, it would be fine in the begining and be off in the middle come back, go off again... that made ordinary methods of audio syncing impossible. i notived at the begining it says it is indexing, that must be what makes it work so well. do you know what version of divx it uses?

yes, i used them both, whats the diff between virtual dub and nandub?

VD is the original. Nandub is a modified version of VD that allows it to do extra stuff such as:



2 pass encoding (if you are using Nandub to do the encode).

Bit rate calculate.

Allow mp3 and other audio that VD does not handle on its own.

Svdude

Unless I missed something you are a little late.

Did I miss something? Does anybody still need help? I'm pretty sure XP will work on an NT file system (In fact I thought that was the whole point of going to XP, that it is NT based)but I'm still running 98se and Me.

i used to do my ripping with dvd-ripp it was a script program bundled with a bunch of command line programs to do the ripping, audio stuff and used v dub for muxing. it works very well but the problem is, i have run accross several dvds that it just cant do. the simpsons episodes especialy. it wouldnt let me choose the individual chains for each episode so i tried dvdx. it had an option for a/v sync but it would just add space in the middle of the sound when it started to move too fast. this was unaceptable. you recomended fair use so i tried it, it works perfect but i wish it would use the newer divx codec, 4 is much better than 3.11

Try to get a App and convert it too NTFS. I know you but i forgot the name of the app.

Ok, no problem dude.
