We haven't tested much with files beyond about 3 GB so my first thought is that there may be some bug associated with giant files that we haven't hit here. Do you see these errors in 100% of cases when the files exceed a certain size? Or do you sometimes have e.g. 15GB files with no problems?
Prompted by your report, I went digging into large file support within the zip library used by braid. It seems large file support (files greater than 4GB) was added just a few weeks ago and I went ahead and added support for it in d60b0dac911d653dffb0544a732e3832bb2dbde4. While doing this, I also noticed another bug in the code and fixed that as well.
I will make a new release soon which incorporates this fix.
I am assuming this will fix your issue, but if it does not, please re-open this.
I released 0.9.1 which should fix the issue.
Hi Andrew, Recently see more and more often an issue with the braidz file saved from the system.
When opening it with zipfile in python, I get this error:
BadZipFile: Truncated file header
If I change the extension to .zip, I can view the contents using the archive viewer in Ubuntu, and I can see all the files are in there, but if I try to extract it using
unzip -t
I get this error:warning [20210618_132644.zip]: 12884901888 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile (attempting to process anyway)
file #1: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 12884902024 (attempting to re-compensate)
testing: README.md OK
error: not enough memory for bomb detection
At least one error was detected in 20210618_132644.zip.
The output from braidz did not show any issues in creating the file:
Jun 20 21:48:31.524 INFO flydra2_mainbrain: stopping saving

Jun 20 21:48:47.696 INFO flydra2: done creating zip file, removing /media/benyishay_la/Data/Experiments/20210618_132644.braid
I was able to "fix" the archive using the command from this post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/115831, but then the file size got reduced from 15GB (yeah, it's a very long recording) to about 7GB. I've attached the output from this command, maybe it contains some helpful information? zip_FFv_fix.txt
Thanks, Elhanan
