That is a limitation of the wav file format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV#Limitations use w64 or some other capable supported format |
|
|
Maybe it would be good to add warning/split file into sequence of two files? |
|
|
We offer RF64 (Wave Compatible) format for users working with potentially long recordings or large files. This format stays compatible with WAV up to the size limit of WAV, then converts the file into RF64, which can be enormously bigger. Unfortunately, we only offer this for audio data captured by Ardour, not during export. I agree that Ardour should at least warn you that the data to be exported is too big for WAV format. Please file a separate bug for that. |

Actually, don't worry about filing another bug report. |
