So you can set a larger value if your /video folder (or whatever) lies
on a filesystem that supports files larger than 2G else don't do it ;)


I strongly advise against this!
VDR is _NOT_ designed to handle files larger than 2GB.

Would you accept a patch doing the following:


.) Defining file_offset_bits to 64 which will lead to all of the "normal" file operations use 64 bit io

.) change all the integer references for file offsets to fpos_t and alike?

Afair this is all that has to be done.

If you would accept it I'd go and patch vdr.
Why, it ain't broken, why to 'fix' it ?
What would be the benefit for VDR in general, better picture quality ?
