Hi As far as i know, win32 can handle files above 900 GBs (i've seen a zip file that big, imagine how big the xml file compressed within was!)... Some video systems breakdown big files to make them easier to read and moving the viewer from chapters to chapter (but this is just a software limit)...
I dont think any modern system would have such a ridiculous limit... What is possible is that rev depends on a pointer to the file which would be a signed interger limited near the size of 2GBs...
