Mhhh,

but why do you have problems with 2 GB limit ?

Why not adjusting VDR Settings to create 700MB chunks instead of 2GB ? At 
least for the editing process ? Then you will have 700MB *.vdr files which 
you can feed seperately to PVAstruemto !
The only drawback is that there maybe lost half a second or so between the CDs 
:-(
The other way is to cut the CDs manually with VDR - however you have to guess 
which length will fill one CD :-/ But then you can choose cut scenes for CD 
changes and maybe choose some overlapping (is that the right word ?)

However, in both cases you don't need PVAstrumento/Wine process files larger 
700 MB !?

At least that's how i did it, until i switched over to mencoder to encode 
every recording to a convenient cd sized mpeg4 (divx or xvid interlaced)...
