That is strange. Why do you have problems compiling your SMBtool? I assume you are using CWSDPMI extender with Watcom C compiler? Or GCC compiler, whichever works better? What new additions did you make which break the compilation? I am very interested in trying out your new version.

And, yes, I can play 2 GB demuxed h.264 files from Blu-ray movies just fine on a modern system, with the DOS port of Mplayer. These 1920x1080 .m2ts files play natively in the DOS MPLAYER port, even with sound on some PCI sound cards, but the limit is 2 GB,and they can't be played directly from BD-R discs, because of no native UDF driver in DOS. So, I think support for BD-R for both data *and* large movie files (well beyond 4GB) in DOS has a lot of potential use and utility! h.265 files, not so much, since those are not on BD-R standard, but the UHD (4k) standard, which DO NOT play in DOS, because of extreme resolution (no DOS support of 3840x2160) and extreme CPU requirements (dual / quad core, with multithreading (SMT) enabled, as a requirement to play these files).
