Weird Premiere Bug ?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I'm trying to render an MPEG2 file from Premiere Pro that's
approximately 75 minutes long.

And yet every time the filesize of the M2V hits 2.00GB exactly,
Premiere crashes out. I've changed bitrates and stuff like that, but
it still crashes out at exactly 2.00GB. Anyone have any ideas ?

Using XP with NTFS, so it should definitely not be a filesystem limit.

2gig is not a limit of avi - I've had avi files that were over 60 gigs.
Check the timeline on which your rendering - is it stopping at a point on
the timeline where a cut occurs? If so, check the properties of that avi
file. It could be a problem of different types of avi's, and premiere
doesn't anticipate the change

With my canopus avi file version utility, I can choose to export one type of
avi that will stop converting at 2GB. (There's like 5 different settings to
choose from.) Also, the capture function with my canopus (dvstorm) card also
stops at a 2GB limit. So my workaround is that I capture into avi type 1 and
convert to canopus avi II and theres no file size limit. But whats with this
2GB limit? I don't think its a problem with items on a timeline.
