That is correct. If you check the "Support RF64 file format" box in the file
preferences you can record as long as you want. Supposedly this converts the
BWF file to a wave64 when the 2 GB limit is passed. However the resultant
file, though fine in Wavelab, is unrecognized by any other programs. You
also have the option of recording in wave64 format which has a size limit of
512 GB. These seem to transfer OK between programs which support wave64, but
it is not BWF compliant or universally supported.
Several programs have found ways around the 2 GB limit, but it seems that
these methods are proprietary and do not transfer between programs.
