Cannot Add Files Greater than 4 GB to NetShow Theater Server

 * }

Q221849

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft NetShow Theater Server version 3.0

-

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to add a title that is greater than 4 gigabytes (GB) to a NetShow Theater Server, the following symptoms may occur:


 * The title appears in titleview, but the file size and duration are incorrect.
 * The file addition appears to occur normally, but the file never initializes and is therefore removed from the server.

CAUSE
The file size is incorrectly calculated for titles greater than 4 GB.

RESOLUTION
