Re: [Mingw-users] Cygwin 32-bit Limitation

[<us...@zz...>]

I am working on additions to MPlayer that allow users to play files extracted
from a TiVo or streamed from a TiVo.  Being video files they are rather 
large.

I saw there is a recent port of mplayer to mingw.  I was wondering if I would
get 64-bit file access/offsets for free by porting my code to the mingw
version.  I really don't want to go into the depths of the file access on
mplayer to fix the problem.

Thanks for your help.
