I'm using ReiserFS. I've also tried on a 40GB ext3 filesystem on a spare 
drive. The error comes from VirtualDub, which believes that it's running on a 
FAT32 filesystem (obviously that's what Wine reports to any program that asks 
what FS type a drive is). I've tried working around it by using vdub's 
'segmented AVI' feature (which creates multiple AVIs <= 2GB) but I can't use 
these successfully under Linux.
