It works, but only with programs that don't check what filesystem they're running on. VirtualDub checks whether the file is being saved on a FAT or NTFS drive by retrieving the filesystem properties and refuses to save beyond 2GB if it's reported as FAT. (Obviously, on a real Windoze system, saving beond 2GB on FAT would fail.)
My hack simply changed Wine's response so that it reported the simulated volume to be an NTFS one.
I see. At the moment wine's file handling/configuration is changed almost on a daily basis. Today you would probably have to hack dlls/kernel/volume.c, tomorrow that may have changed
I cc 'd this to the developers list, see if anyone knows if a more permanent solution is already planned.
