2 channels, 24/96 is about 1 hour per 2 gigs. So about 8 gigs for 4 hours.

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't you just record to the harddrive?

record to the internal hard-drive instead of CF.
also, make sure you set the autosplit(I'm assuming the 7xx has this feature) so you dont have to deal with the 2GB barrier in post production.

if you have a laptop/computer, you could always tranfer the tracks via firewire...
is this Schmidt? if so, I would imagine that Hatgis would have no reservations...
