Note the documentation for that option:
The /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option tells the linker that the application can
handle addresses larger than 2 gigabytes.
This flag is _only_ used to signal that an application can deal
with addresses that use more than 31 address bits.
I.e. it is only for those horribly misdesigned programs that
thought "oh, let's store some extra stuff in that unused high bit
of the address". Which FFmpeg definitely does not.
I guess you meant something like "it is [not enabled by default because
of] those horribly misdesigned programs ..."
I agree that it makes sense to set this flag. A few weeks ago I stumbled
over an out-of-memory error case with 4 parallel FFV1 encoding outputs
on Win32 and recompiled FFmpeg with this compiler flag enabled.
This article has some nice info on how the flag affects maximum
available memory space:
