After using tytool5r2 to pull some streams from a T60 to a box running XP, I noticed that *all* of the shows had file sizes that were about 4.19 GB. The downloaded shows were football games with varying recording times, so this common file size seems quite odd.

Any ideas? I can split and mux every one of them and check them out individually, but I was curious if anyone has experienced this potential issue in the past.

I'll take a stab and guess that you're using a FAT32 partition.

Bingo.

You're right -- totally forgot about the FAT32 limitations.
