Hi guys.
Is there a max to the file sizes of an individual streams (.mts, .m2t, .m2ts, .ts, whatever) in BluRay or AVC HD disks?

Sorry if this is a silly question but after considerable amount of Googling I still couldn't find the answer.
thanks

It is perfectly legal to have only one 00000.m2ts that fills up the whole Volume.
(leave a tiny room for control files)

In a Blu-ray structure the stream size is only limited by the disc media you want to use.
On Blu-ray disc: 25GB on BD-R, 50GB on BD-R DL , UDF 2.50 provided.

On a AVCHD on DVD disc the appropriate rule (4,7GB on DVD+-R/RW, 8,5GB on DVD+R DL) can be assumed.

On a AVCHD volume like a SD card the file size limit of the used file system sets the stream size limit.
(4GB for SDHC -> FAT32, maybe a bit more on SDXC -> exFAT)
