4Gb file size limit .. most frustrating thing ever :(

I been a owner of a Virb XE for less than a Week, and altho there's multiple things I think this camera could improve, none of them comes close to this windows 95 era limit of 4Gb file size ....
I know it apply only to win7 not above, but in case you missed it, win7 is the majority of installations out there. I for once, wont be upgrading for winX any time soon.

Yesterday did a bike ride with friends and recorded the entire thing and now I have to cut left right and center to get bellow the 4Gb, stuff I did not wanted to cut. Worst of it all is that we have to render to know if we are bellow the 4Gb or not, several hours each time. I rendered my video 6 times in the last 2 days now, and still cant have it rendereded.

It is not only frustrating, demoralizing to do new records but also incomprehensible why Garmin chose to use a old API in a OS that supports virtually unlimited file sizes. At least do a x32 and ax64 downloadable version so we, the x64 guys, can get around this.

seriously frustrated by this

    I know the file size limitation has been a major pain point for many of you for a long time, and we've spent a significant amount of time addressing this problem. VirbEdit 3.3 beta is now available and the 4GB export and import restrictions have been removed for all operating systems. We'd be very interested to hear everyone's feedback on the beta, especially those of you who had experienced problems with prior versions.

    @Purdington: that's great news indeed! I will give the Windows version another try when I have time.
