Having messed around with large files with the RealSystem, I've found
that files larger than 1gb have to be handled differently.  Seeking to
locations past the 1gb mark doesn't seem to work, nor does many other
things, unless compensated for.  The problem seems to be cross-platform
as well, so if you're planning on playing large files, I'd suggest
splitting them up into a smil or some other kind of presentation.
