Bug Description
Windows Media Center will place recorded shows in dvr-ms files, which I am able to view via VLC. After upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 from 8.4, I find that I am not able to view very large dvr-ms files, which are around 7 GB in size. At the moment I do not know where the tipping point is in file size, but I can view 2.4 GB files without any problems.
With the large files, the problem occurs somewhere past the halfway point and once it is reached, VLC will skip back to the beginning of the file. You can not use the slider to go past the point of failure.

Sounds like some sort of 32-bit integer overflow bug. Hmm, hopefully VLC's developers can shed a bit more light on this situation.
