I don't know about OpenDML, but take the following for what it's worth:
The RealServer can actually only handle 31-bit unsigned integers in the
FileHeader.
You can do a live stream that is larger than 2^32 -1 bytes without much
of a problem (If I remember correctly, it's been awhile since I've done
that), but streaming a file whose size is larger than 2^31 -1 bytes
involves some trickery. I believe that the same holds true for duration
as well.
For VOD, the 2gb barrier comes into play more on seeking than anything
else. For some reason if you seek to 2^32 -1 bytes and start reading,
everything is OK, but anything past that will cause problems.
