[MEncoder-users] problem with big files

[a a]

Hello all

i have 2 .avi file sized 4.9 Gig and 12 Gig, and i
want to convert them to 2 mpeg files, but when i run
mencoder as usual to change these files, it works on
them until it reaches the 4096 MB of input file and
then it stops without any unusual message :-(

Then i got the last version of mplayer sources (1-rc2)
and myself compiled it with option --enable-largefiles
and again converted those files with new mencoder, but
no any benefits was made.
The filesystems that i used for input and output files
were ext3 . and the OSs were Ubuntu-7.10-amd64 and
Knoppix-5.1.1 on 2 computers with same result.

What is the problem , and its solutions ?
How can i convert such files?

thanks
