at the studio earlier, shooting a video. i'm talking about how rare actual HD video was in 2006 (blu-ray not out, no streaming; only HD you can pirate is ripped from TV broadcasts) and she stops me and goes,

you just unlocked a memory. around this time, they rereleased terminator 2 on DVD. except if you put it in your computer, they had an HD version you could play in windows.

...we might have that DVD

so when i get home i look and no shit we have the terminator 2 Extreme DVD. i dig it out and

i've been trying to think about why the hell they would do this, and i have three answers, none of which actually make any sense:

  • they're split at the 1GB mark, which DVD-Video enforces for its own file objects (but UDF doesn't :eggbug-tuesday:)
  • they're split at the 2GB mark, for FAT32 compatibility (in case studios wanted to … more easily let you pirate their movie as digital files :eggbug-tuesday:)
  • they're split at the 2GB mark, because FAT32 ubiquity meant that many media players simply didn't properly support bigger files and there was little impetus for fixing that at the time (although the ASF specification shows that sizes at the container level are 64-bit, so this doesn't seem like a likely problem :eggbug-tuesday:)

in conclusion, eggbug tuesday
