I am making a slide show with music that is about 40 minutes long using windows movie maker. When I try to save to my computer as an AVI there is a diagnostic that says I have exceeded the 4gb limit. 1. The last part of the message is covered with more of the diagnostic box...so what does it say? 2. What can I do to get around this limit?

FAT32 has a 4gb file limit.
dv.avi is about 13gb per hur, so 40 mins is abiout 8.5gb.

To keep the quality high and use dv.avi you need to change the file system hard drive has from fat32 to ntfs.

or, you can keep fat32 and lower the quality by choosing a wmv version.
