I should be more clear on this:
The remaining stability problem I see is a memory leak in avirec; over
the course of an hour recording it starts dropping hundreds of
megabytes of RAM. I'm going to try to find this myself, but I suppose
I should call attention to it for people familiar with the code.
I also have a feature request: currently avirec bombs out when it
records a file up to the 2GB limit, since there is no way to request a
segmented AVI file. I would suggest at least making the default
segment size 2GB, not unlimited. It seems that the following one line
change is sufficient to do this:
