It depends how you make it.
Firstly, you need to be using an NTFS file system and
not FAT. But that's probably not a problem.
There are two different services for managing AVI.
The first one is Video For Windows, and it dates back from Windows 3.1, and is
limited to 2 gig file size. This is the service used by XSI and most
applications that date back from NT 4.0 It's effectivly a dead API.
It's possible that QuickTime is also using that API when it's
writing AVIs.
The second service is Direct Show. It's used by Adobe
products, windows media player and everything more recent, and it supports
AVI 2.0, with no file size limit.

Conversation: Maximum .avi file
Subject: Maximum .avi
file
Can you help me on that? As soon as I make
an .avi over 2Gig I'm not able to play it from anything (Window Média, Winamp)
Does 2.0 Gig is the maximum size for an .avi to
be played? Even on xp x64? With all the new HD format How do you manage
that?
Thanks to all
