Apologies, my mail client is acting weird :-(

I seem to recall a thread a while ago regarding large files ( >4GB or

I've trawled back through my archives and can't find any reference.
Does anybody remember it,
You can find this thread in the Feb 2014 list archives:

OP was Sam P:

and the issue was observed on the flashhd quality variant of the
Winter Olympics 2014 Opening Ceremony...
what was the solution
Many thanks to dinkypumpkin, who provided a special mod of rtmpdump
to bypass the RTMP 4GB limit (which has nothing to do with the file system
of your hard disk):
https://bitbucket.org/dinkypumpkin/rtmpdump/branch/4GB
If you are on Windows, you can grab the x86 binary here
(again,c/o dinkypumpkin):
https://bitbucket.org/dinkypumpkin/rtmpdump/downloads
You can safely replace your current copy of rtmpdump.exe
(or choose to back it up first) with this moded one - just rename it
from rtmpdump-4GB.exe to simply rtmpdump.exe.
Or you can point get_iplayer to this new binary by editing your system
options file or via the --rtmpdump <path> option...
If not on Windows, I'm sure others can step in...
Regards,
Vangelis.
