is there a time limit on recording length?

[galen]

I streamed to file on more than 2 occasions and vlc stopped streaming video to file at 3h21minutes but keep recording blank video hours further.
I had used differing frame rates 12fps, 8fps, 4fps
the vcodec was theora into a ogg container, no acodec

The desktop computer does not have sleep or hibernate enabled , Linux Xubuntu. XFCE Power manager turns off the monitor at around 120 minutes
I recorded a Logiteck quickcam at 0.5 resolution 480p/2

Anyone have an idea what could be causing this time limit?

Looking for answer to this as well.

You should look at the logs to see why it does not work anymore.

I have had this same issue on a few occasions and assumed there was a limitation somewhere on vlc for recording. But researching it I only found this issue and https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=147996 where it's documented and in both cases, there was no resolution or max length determined.??
