Windows Media Player Streams the File rather than loads it all, so if
its encoded at 200kbps its only reading 200kb at a time thus not going
over the 2gig limit

Ahhh, that explains why I can't edit 2.1 gigabyte video clips! I had no
idea Win98 had a limit on file size. :-) Incidentally, I could PLAY the
raw
AVI video clip with Windows Media Player, but when I tried to edit and
save
the file, I got errors on anything over 2 gigs. I wonder why I could
play
the file, but not edit it, and how was my video capture card "allowed"
to
write such a large file in the first place?
