You can't. The time indexes are the whole problem of 2 GB limits,
they're 32 bit integers and thus limited to 2 GB boundaries. > 2 GB
files simply don't contain a time index.

That's the problem with > 2 GB openDML AVI files. There's other tools
that record to multipel 2 GB files instead of one large file, they don't

records to MJPEG, not to RGB15.
