Hard Drive Size Limitation

DVDs consist of .VOB files that normally do not exceed
1.073GB. A full
length movie would consist of at least 4 of these. DVD
software
usually allows you to set the maximum size of each file.
There is
usually little need to create an image file of a DVD.

You may not be interested in using large hard drives, but
many other
people are including the person who started this topic. That
is why I
posted my first message.

I never specified how people should partition their hard
drives. In
fact I specifically tell them not to create individual
partitions
larger than 127GB.

As far as my web site is concerned, you must have not
bothered to
click on the link to the Patch program. The limitations of
the Demo
Program are listed there. A long discussion of installation
details is
not appropriate for the web page. Anyone even remotely
interested can
download the free Demo and read the README.TXT file.

If you are not interested in installing the Patch, don’t go
to the
website, don’t read the README.TXT file, it would be a waste
of your
time. But it makes you totally unqualified to criticize a
program,
that other people are interested in, that you can’t be
bothered to
investigate or test.

Granted - it' possible to manipulate DVD file-size (but only
for the
experienced user).

The point that I was trying to make about your site, is simply
that, if you
really want people to download it, you should explain EXACTLY
what it does,
rather than some wishy-washy guff that only describes the
(demo-only)
limits.
People looking for such a patch are going to see that page -
and then look
elsewhere for a better option, without downloading the demo.
Yes - I did follow the patch link - that's the one I am
commenting on!

Since Windows 98, 98SE and ME do not support individual files larger
than 4GB, and commercial DVDs limit their files to 10.73GB, I am sure
that DVD authoring programs would make it easy for even novice users
to limit the size of files and/or set an appropriate limit by default.

I wish you would read more than one paragraph at a time when looking
at my web site. The description of what it does is in the first
paragraph. The description of the Demo limitations is only one
paragraph.

A detailed description of Port Drivers and the ATA-7 standard is
unneccessary and is likely to confuse and discourage people who mainly
want to know if my Patch will work in their systems. Since the Demo
Package is small and FREE, anyone who is interested in more detailed
information can download the Package and read the Manual.

Since most people will have come across the "official" approaches
namely Windows 2000/XP, PCI Cards and the Intel Application
Accelerator, before finding my Patch program, I think they will find
that there are no other options for most systems.
