Subject: RE: 2 GB file limit
I think you're confusing the 2 GB hard disk partition limit of Win 95's FAT
16 with the 2 GB file size limit for the .avi file format specification. In
the first case, converting to FAT 32 (which can be done as part of upgrading
to Win 98) eliminates the 2 GB disk partition limit. In the second case,
video capture and editing programs like Adobe Premiere and Ulead Media
Studio Pro get around the .avi 2 GB fize size limit by seamlessly capturing
video to separate 2 GB .avi files and then playing them back seamlessly as
if there was only one file. I have not used either of those programs, but
that's what I understand about how they work.
