Here is Anthony's 2GB QuickTime workaround for those of you who don't
archive : )
I recommend you SAVE this one.
If anything is inaccurate, I take no responsibility : )
BTW : Thanks Anthony. I hope you don't mind.

************************************
In Movie Player you can piece together all your 2 gig movies into
one
long "referencing" movie (allowing dependencies) that you can then open
with Premiere or any other QuickTIme savvy application. If there's a
little bit
of overlap in the 2g movies, you can trim for frame accuracy in Movie
Player
so they butt together seemlessly.
In Movie Player I start with a new movie (select New from the File
menu)
and then open your shorter (2g or less) movies.
Go to the Edit menu and Select All (you see the content bar go black)
Edit: Copy.
Select the untitled movie (touch the title bar)
Edit: Paste.
Select the second movie (touch...)
Edit: Selct All.
Edit: Copy
Select the untitled movie...
* make sure the position indicator is at the very end of the movie.
* when you paste, it will paste precicely where the position indicator
is
* no matter where it is in the movie.
Edit: Paste.
etc.
* process may be slightly different on windows machines. I wouldn't
know.
Remember to save the movie with a different name than any of your
source
movies. If you"Allow Dependencies" the "new" movie will only be a couple
hundred K. This means it is a Referencing Movie- it contains pointers to
all
the other movies, but no movie data itself. (I call this a "Z" movie)
* Do _not_ trash the original movies now that you have a
referencing
movie because this new movie _depends_ on all of the source files.
With this method, the file limit, and even a hard drive limit, are
meaningless.
If Mr. Quicktime can come in and correct my poor selection of terms
(position indicator, content bar) I'd appreciate it. I just made those
names
up to tell the story.
