 FIRST of all thanks @Peter Ross for fixing the seek in WTV files.

 Summary of the bug: When I try to convert TS files to WTV files and if the
 converted file is > 2GB, it is unplayable.

 How to reproduce: Here is a very simple remux from TS to WTV, as you can
 see the conversion itself is showing no errors, but if the destination is
 > 2GB the file is not playable by WMP, however if I use a smaller source
 so the destination is < 2GB it works fine (same settings).

 I'm marking this important since it's fundamental issue, but if my
 analysis is incorrect feel free to change it.
