Hi,
How should I prevent vdr to split files in 2 GB files?
Thanks.
John.

VDR is limited to 2Gb by design and cannot process bigger files. Allowing large files would require major rewrites to VDR and even incompatible changes to the index.vdr format.
If you really want your recording in one large, non-standard PES format file, you can just copy all files into one. If you want something like a real .mpg file, use a remuxer like ProjectX.
Cheers,
Udo
Udo,
I understand your point, but:
one large, non-standard PES format file
I'm curious: To what standard to the .vdr files adhere to today? I always thought this was nothing but a hard split at the 2 GB border, especially as the split is by the number of bytes, not by GoP boundaries.
Correct me if I am wrong!
Regards, Torsten

They are MPEG PES files.

VDR does split at the next GOP boundary after MaxVideoFileSize.
