avimux issue - gst_avi_mux_write_avix_index:<avimux0> No more room in superindex of stream 00db

[Ian Davidson]

Hi Pier,

I believe that you have probably hit the limit for the size of an AVI 
file.  The limit is AFAIK either 2GB or 4GB.

If you want to create an AVI file, then you have to live with that 
limit.  If you want to record for longer, then you will need to consider 
some other format - and possibly compressed, rather than raw format.
