BTW, long recordings are segmented by the Ross into 2-GB chunks, with
extensions in the form *.ts.001 . This is recognised by MPEG_Streamclip
which automatically joins the files.

Video chopped into 2 Gb chunks used to be Win98 thing, max file size the
operating system could handle. I thought that with Win NT and later Win XP
that limitation was a thing of the past.
Ross box using a Win98 operating system, say it isn't so !

I still sometimes use a machine running Win98 on a 4 GB drive, which was
more than enough storage space at one time. I think it's primarily a
FAT32 thing rather than Win98 as such, and was introduced with Win95.

From poking around in the code, however, it seems that the Ross is based
on the Linux OS. It certainly ain't Win98! In any case, DVDs use 1 GB
chunks, and I think 2 GB chunks are common with recording STBs.
