If its anything like Panasonic P2 then the MXF files may simply span at 4GB into a second file?
P2 cards are fat32.
In
honesty I've never looked that closely and only have a Mac's to
test with at present.
Of course, you could route your media creation to a fat32 deivce, and simpyl test by importing a long clip and watching the AMF directory.
We'd have a definitive answer then :)
I should really know this, but off the top of my head I can't think.
PS. I work with students at a large univeristy. exFat seems to be more fussy about unclean dismounts. I'm not sure if its just heavy handed-ness, but I've found exFat harder to recover. Then again I'm not a recovery expert!

Subject: [Avid-L2] File Size limit on Fat32 4GB - one byte?
Okay I've known about the 4 gig limit for various exports in Avid and with fat 32 the size limit is 4 GB minus 1 byte. I'm experiencing this limit with a usb jump drive with 16 GB capacity trying to copy a 7.3GB QT movie. If I reformat EXFat it will copy. Okay I get this but it seems like everyone always says format cross platform media drives etc.... to Fat-32 to bounce between Macs and PCs. What happens in Avid with a media drive formatted Fat 32 and a media file in excess of 4 GB? What if I do a video mixdown to a Fat 32 of an hour show? I'm usually running Mac OS extended volumes on my Mac systems but it would seem over the years I would have hit a 4 GB road block at some point on Avid, other the the omf/aff limitations that can now be bypassed. Not having a problem but I can't believe I've never been burned by this with external drives.
