As a long time VirtualDub and NTFS user, I've come across this a lot. The original AVI standard I think was fixed at 2GB per file. However, the AVI2/OpenDML spec (http://www.matrox.com/video/press/papers/odmlff2.pdf) allows for much larger AVI files, and then I think it's up to the playback and filesystem to support their size.
