Actually, you probably reached a size limit in the various softwares you tried to open it with. I doubt many audio software makers ever expected anyone to open 4 GB wav files. The largest size they probably anticipated was 800 MB from CDDA, and maybe smaller than that (since CDs are usually split up into tracks).
By my calculation, 4.57 GB is equal to 463.62 minutes of audio (assuming a 44.1 KHz 16 bit stereo stream), so it looks like all the audio is there.
Incidentally, 39 minutes is about 394 MB - I have no idea why WMP would truncate it at 394 MB, but then WMP has always been a little odd.
Now the question is, what are you going to do with that huge WAV file? You probably want to encode it to some other format, and who knows if the encoding tools will have any similar file size limits/assumptions. You can only try it and see.
Alternatively, it sounds like the original format was not WAV (based on the fact that you used WinAMP to create the WAV). If that is the case, you may be able to find a tool that converts it directly from the original format into the format you want, thereby avoiding the file size issue altogether.

What I am trying to do is to use Gordian Knot to encode the whole cricket match into DivX so I can get a Final output size that can actually fit into 1-2 DVD+R discs.
Originally there are 8 MPG2 files and DVD2AVI allows you to open them all, making it look like one file. And then I extracted the audio into MP2. Then MP2-> WAV caused a 4.57 GB file and then I couldnt load it on Winamp.
Please don't ask me what a Cricket match is.
Very similar to american baseball but one innings last about 3hours and 45 minutes. and then its time for the opposition to bat.
thats my issue.
