dealing with >2GB .dv files

[sb]

Two ways to go about this.

First off, use iMovie to capture the VHS material thru your Formac. Then it
will all come it.

If iMovie won't work with the Formac, then you can use an applescript that
automatically cuts up files into 2gb chunks.

You open up the movie in QTPro and then run the script on it.
