Greeting from ArchitecturalMAGIC.com

 

We specialize in architectural renderings and computer animations.

I have a client that wants the original uncompressed avi file of an animtion that we recently finished for them for further post prodution.

 

The problem is that the file is 26 gigs and I know that a dvd will only hold somewhere around 4 gigs.so what are my options.

I have done a search through the forum an it appears that ImgBurn will not burn this over several disks.

 

So I know what I can't do.

Please tell me what I can do. What are some other options. I mean there must be a lot of situations where very large files cannot be split up

How would you get this project to your client?

 

Thanks all

Well, do you intend to put it on another computer, or you trying to make it so they can be played on a DVD player or such?

I bet you would RAR it and split it into parts...

I dunno much about computers, sorry if I'm no help....But 26 Gigs? WTH man?! xD

Will they not accept a AVI file with lossless compression (e.g. HuffYUV)? If they would then the size of your problem could be reduced by a fair chunk.

 

However for a file that big I'd probably just buy a 32GB USB memory stick (
