Is there a technical reason for Revolution having a 31 char limit in Mac OS X? Obviously the OS and filesystem support longer file names (256 chars) and there must be other Carbon application that support long filenames.
Revolution is most likely still using the FSSpec file structure with QuickTime.

That's exactly what Tuviah mentioned here:

QuickTime 6 introduced new movie storage functions that support all of the fancy long names but the Rev code needs to be updated to determine if QT 6 is installed and then use the appropriate functions.
