Don't remember if it is used signed (which reduces it to effectivly 2GB) or for 'good measure', but that's the reason for the 2GB limit per file. This has been discusses several times in the past and Klaus doesn't want to (backward incompatible) change the format of index.vdr. So for short: Larger than 2GB is a no go. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
