I just checked on my 6.5 symphony soft and the check box is by default on and it says aaf protocol. I didn't have anything to test on but is it unchecking the box that allows greater than 2GB aafs? If the spec standard is under 2 GB it would seem to me checking aaf protocol would limit the size to 2GB. I'll have to try next time I have something to aaf that's big enough to hit 2GB.
