4gig limit
 

im trying to copy max payne and every time the extract process reaches 4 gig it errors out. im using XP as my os.

Switch your disk to NTFS. Or PrimoDVD should take care of that for ya.

If you are already using PrimoDVD, go to the support site and download the updated PX engine.

thanks guys, i was using primo already charlie so i just changed to NTFS as Docnight suggested.
Before i did that though i tried just extracting files manually to a folder and i was surprised to see it was only 2.86 gb for all files but when you look on the properties tab on the dvd it shows 4.07 gb. is that because they use dummy files on the original dvd or are there hidden files or something.

No idea. When I copy a DVD to a folder, it shows the same as on the DVD.
