4GB filesize limit

[Dave Lambley]

It might be worth trying this recording on a machine running a 64 bit
build of rtmpdump.  Probably on 64 bit Linux.

You may have trouble playing the files after recording them however.
Some file formats, such as WAV, MP4 and ZIP have a lesser implemented
variant for files greater than 4 GB.

Cheers,
Dave
