     The problem with doing that is that it would break other programs
that can't handle AVIs >2GB (due to limitations in the original AVI
specification).  The "RIFF chunking", properly called OpenDML, is a
standard method of creating large AVI files that's been around for several
years now; if TMpgEnc can't handle that, then frankly it's broken.  (It's
also possible that transcode's OpenDML support is broken, but MPlayer at
least has no trouble with large AVIs produced by transcode, so I'd tend to
blame TMpgEnc.)
