Files larger than 4 GB truncated in VPC 7.0.2

Hello, I started using VPC because I want to run an mpeg2 processing
application. However, the mpeg2 files I want to process are larger than
4 GB. When I try to look at, open, or process the large files, the file
will only show as 4 GB. The files are on a MacOS Extended hard drive on
my Mac. I run OS X 10.4. I tried creating a Virtual Hard Disk and copy
the file to it, but it still only shows up as 4 GB.

Anyone know a workaround to be able to see the entire file?

Thanks!

When you create a virtual hard disk, the default filesystem format is
FAT32 which has a 4Gb - 1 file size limit. You could convert the VHD
filesystem to NTFS (or format using NTFS to begin with) but then you
won't be able to copy the file directly by mounting the VHD on the OS X
desktop. For copying the file over, you'll have to resort to something
like VPC file sharing or Windows networking.
