Audil,

Be sure you're using tif_win32.c, and be sure you're writing to an NTFS volume. FAT32 volumes do not support files > 4GB.

I am using the latest build of libtiff tiff-4.0.0alpha on Windows XP 32-bit.

I am performing a test where I write a BigTIFF file that I would like to be greater than 4 GB.

The file size will not go over 4 GB ( 4,194,258 Kbytes).

> I use TIFFOpen with the “w8” parameter.

Strip size is one row.

I write scanlines one at a time using TIFFWriteScanLine and watch the file grow. It always stops at 4 GB.

Any help would be appreciated.
