I would like to use tools such as mencoder to reencode these files to something like divx or mpeg2. Unfortunately, every time I begin an encoding process for a file larger than 2GB the encoder prematurely exits. First I assumed I wasn't using mencoder correctly, but then I attemped to copy a file from the ntfs partition to /usr/tmp the file was trunicated at just under 2GB. I tried the same experiment on several files and the results were the same. Is there some system variable I need to set which allows large files or is this a limitation of the ntfs code? I'm currently running 4.7-Stable with a fairly recent world/kernel < 1 month.
