Hi Terrence;

Not for a QuickTime movie. We use 64 bit byte addressing for that, so that's 1.152921504606847e+18 bytes of data maximum limit (square of 4 gigabytes).

I know some AVI's are limited to 4 gigabytes though and I'm not sure how long .dv video can run for.

One limit I am aware of is that the TimeCode tracks are limited to a maximum of 255 hours before they roll over. That doesn't affect the movie recording, but it will affect time code data that exceeds 10 days of recording in a single movie. That's a QuickTime architecture issue and not much I can do about it.

HTH..

Milton, is there any limit to the length of a movie that Astro-IIDC can handle.  Length or memory constraints?
