I have creator 2009. I have a sony HD camera. I was in the middle of importing my movie from the camera to hard disc using "media import".
Everything was working just fine. After 16 minutes, the transfer stopped, and Media Import gave me a pop up message that the 4 gig limit was reached.
I don't understand why there is a limit. I also cannot find a user settings in creator 2009/media import that allow me to change the 4 gig limit.
Please help,

That message seems to indicate that your hard drive is formatted in a FAT32 file system which limits file sizes to 4GB. This is a Windows limitation. You should format that drive to the NTFS system or use another NTFS drive to which you can capture.

I think you were right. The 4 gig max problem i had occured while trying to transfer to my Iomego eGo portable USB hard drive. I tried transferiing the video using the computer's hard drive, and I did not experience any problems. all 11 gigs went onto the hard drive just fine.

That'd be your problem then, the portable drive will be formatted in FAT32.
You could try unloading the data from your portable to another drive [it can't be THAT huge if it's in FAT32
] and reformatting the portable drive in NTFS. If your portable drive's interface will allow working in NTFS you should then be able to store LARGE files on it.
