The 4D QuickTime externals don't store movies in data (though you could
certainly do this if you cared to write that sort of external). Instead, 4D
datafile fields store "pointers" to QuickTime movies on disk; therefore, no
restrictions are placed on the size of movies that don't exist already in the
Mac OS.
