[hatari-devel] AVI save > 4 GB

[Vincent Rivière <vincent.riviere@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

Background: I'm trying to save a simple AVI of Lethal Xcess with Hatari. 
Steem can't do that, so AVI recording looks like a killer feature in favor 
of Hatari. But I'm facing huge issues because of combination of many Hatari 
bugs. Let's try to fix things step by step, and do not mix issues.

- With official Hatari 2.0.0 binary for Windows: it seems that it is not 
possible to save an AVI file bigger than 4 GB (which happens after only 5 
minutes of recording when using "--max-width 400 --avi-vcodec bmp"). After 
pressing AlrGr+Q (on French keyboad, which maps to A on QUERTY) to stop 
recording, an error message is displayed: "AVI recording : failed to update 
header". See screenshot. I suspect something like a 32-bit seek issue.

- With my HG binary for Cygwin: no problem. I saved a 30+ GB AVI without any 
issue.

Unfortunately, Hatari HG has both save/reload and high-pitched sound issue, 
so I can't use it for my video.
