Export All Tracks As Audio Files Stops Early

I am trying to export files from Logic 8 to mix in Pro Tools. The session is a live album so the exported files are quite long. The whole Logic session including both sets and the space between sets and at the head of the session is 4 hours long. I've successfully exported the first half of the session using the "Export All Tracks As Audio Files" command, but the files end 2 or 3 minutes into the second set. Is there a way to adjust the end point of the "Export Tracks..." Command or is there a limit to the exported file length?

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hmm... isn't there like a 2 gig limit on the size of an individual audio file (wave or aiff)? can someone clarify that?

That's my guess as to what's going on...

Have you tried splitting the 2 halves of the live show into two separate Logic sessions?

Yes, I believe there is Jim.

@j.adam, have you tried exporting all tracks as CAF files? This file format (basically an Aiff container) doesn't have the 2GB limit.

However, I don't believe Pro Tools can read .CAF files...

I'd second Jim's suggestion of splitting the project into 2 and exporting both and then importing the audio files into PT.
