2GB was the first AVI limit because they only used 32Bit on 32Bit
machines. There is a AVI extension called openDML, or somethink like
that that works around that. And you can have much larger files. But you
filesystem, and glibc also has to be able to handel that files.

Usually you only have to use: lavrec .... file%02d.avi

If you want to edit the recorded video do something like that:
glav -p S file*.avi

Or processing directly:
lav2wav file*.avi | ...
lav2yuv file*.avi | ... 

More hints can be found in the mjpeg howto. Or in the mailinglist
archive.
