#34 Can't record video over 2GB

[Anonymous]

Using: Recordmydesktop 0.3.7.3.2.fc10

I can't seem to record a video larger than 2GB. I've tried in both on-the-fly mode and normal mode. I am trying the recording over NFS, for what that's worth, but it's NFS 3, which doesn't have a 2GB limit (I've verified by using dd to write a 3GB file). The problem is very frustrating, as not only does the program cop out, but it gives no sign that it's doing so -- it keeps pretending to record. I'm probably going to try to work around it by setting a timer to kill the program and restart it at regular intervals, and hope the gaps aren't too bad...

often times file sizes are restricted in size due to the programming variable limitations I studied some Linux system programming, that might be the issue.

look up your man pages.....

type:

man limits.h

For what it's worth, haven't run across this issue on any of my Ubuntu systems. They all create a new file at 500mb, then stitch them all together at the end.
