Koz, I think those are red herrings. The disk was freshly defragged before attempting to compress the file. I'm using the NTFS file system which doesn't have those limits. FWIW - the WAV file is 3.61GB I think the bottom line is that, as of right now, Chris's compressor plugin won't work on files as...

Koz, The free space was an issue, thanks for that tip, but not the entire problem. I tried to compress my 6 hour WAV file on a drive with 40GB free space, using Audacity 1.2.6.
