Fw: Re: [CM] CLM and file sizes?

[Joseph Anderson]

Hmm.

My problem is that I'm trying to get a 26 minute 4 channel file at 88.2kHz into a form that can be used with Nuendo.

Due to this 32-bit size field, it looks like I'm going to have to use a split files. Not the most convenient! Thanks for the help.

I think there's a "w64" format that goes above the 2G limit of wav
files. Timemachine uses it by default (through libsndfile, I think), and
Ardour is going to use it in its new 2.x version, otherwise length of
recording time available for high sampling rates becomes unacceptably
low.
