It's possible, though I'm not sure about this, that Gold Wave has a file limit which your particular file is exceeding. That limit pertains to how much Gold Wave can show at one time. Take a look at your preferences section and see if any of the file limits have been engaged. There are parts of Gold Wave that we don't use as blind people but they're still there. One of them is a Zoom feature which can show the entire file so that you can move the cursor along and punch into a particular section to insert more audio. It's a great visual tool but I'll bet it has limits. I know that this is a nuisance but why not move to the end of the file and then see if it really stops. I'll bet it doesn't. I haven't seen a file yet that Gold Wave couldn't handle.

First, the relevant facts... I'm currently using the latest build of Gold Wave and Jaws 12, and the latest Gold Wave scripts from the Jaws-Users scripts page. I'm also using Windows XP home edition on a Toshiba laptop. Now the particulars of the case. The file I'm trying to split is just under 6 and a half hours long, this according to Winamp, my BookSense XT and the status line under Windows Explorer. Once loaded into Gold Wave, however, Gold Wave reports that the file is only 23 minutes and 17 seconds long after doing a control+A to highlight the entire file. I've even attempted to move, both the start and end markers to the end of the file, and playing on from there, but no go. I can't for the life of me understand why I can't get past the 23 minutes and 17 second mark. A few possibly irrelevant facts are that this is an Audible converted file, and though Gold Wave states that there's only 23 minutes in the file, when I play the file on my BookSense XT, or in Winamp, the entire file is there at just under six hours and a half. Another possibly irrelevant fact is that when reading the status bar in Windows Explorer, the status line is reading the entire file is there at the 6 and a half hours, but it's stating that it's a quicktime format file, even though the extension is MP3. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
