See
<http://www.google.com/search?q=%22avi+file+size+limit%22>

You will find that the AVI format has a 2 GB limit inherited by bad design.
Of course, the format is also limited by everything else, like the 512 MB, 8
GB 128 GB and so on limits of IDE harddrives, OS and filesystem file size
limits and so on and so on.

Of course, M$ in 2001 noticed that 2 GB for video isn't a whole lot and they
defined "AVI 2.0".  Whether it is in wide-spread use or supported in many
products is of course a completely different story...
