I believe Windows has something to do with a 2 gigabyte limit on files, but don't worry because PrimoDVD or RecordNow breaks anything over that into different parts. [such as game.gi, game(11).gi, game(12).gi] After you save these files to your harddrive, open just the game.gi to write to DVD and the software will use all files.

There's a great tutorial at http://www.psxcopyworld.co.uk/Primo_Tutorial.htm.

Its actually not Windows itself.... Its the file system of your hard disks.... If you hard disks are formatted using FAT32 then the 2 GIG limit applies.... If they (your hard drive) use NTFS then the 2 GIG limit DOES NOT APPLY......

Well as long as we are getting technical, BG.

FAT 32 has a 4gig limit. Windows ME

FAT 16 has a 2gig limit. Windows 95 98



The update fixes the problem for all versions of Windows.
