Hi Alfian
FAT32 is the format of your hard drive and it only allows a filesize of 4GB.
A DV-AVI file is very large since it is basically uncompressed and therefore
usually larger than the 4GB limit. High Quality NTSC creates a high quality
video that is compressed so it was less than 4GB but when converted by DVD
Authoring software there is often times a problem with quality.
The best advice I can give is to convert the harddrive to NTFS format. It
takes time but if you are going to be doing a lot of video editing FAT32
drives just do not work well. For more information on converting the drive
to NTFS see this website:

Hope that helps
