Read File at > 2GB Problem

[Ian Wood]

I seem to remember something about most OSs not supporting file sizes  
 > 2GB, and that anything that appeared bigger was actually several  
2GB files joined together.
But my only experience of this was using iMovie some time ago, where  
imported DV footage was automatically broken down into 2GB chunks.
