Hi.. I have seen hints of this but have not seen a clear answer.

I am ripping a bunch of DVDs for my ipod classic/160G.

I have been bumping up the video/audio bitrates so that they would be decent on a TV, but have begun creating files that are > 2GB. When this happens, quicktime will no longer play the .MP4 files I am creating. If I keep them under 2GB, they are fine.

So - is there a 2GB limit when playing these files in quicktime, or is the Xilisoft software I am using have a problem with big files. Seems to me it is quicktime...

Easy enough to partition the files (Part 1, part 2 etc) I just want to make sure I understand the issue.

Thanks.

alas.. no response.. but thought I would follow up regardless...

Version 5 of the software was released the other day... and by mistake I found out that files larger than 2GB seem to play fine with the latest version. I must conclude that the problem was with Version 4 of the ripping software and not Quicktime. Shrug.
