For the movie files you can use bink2 plugin with a chunk size like c1gb. The videos are just stored as plain text. You can see the bink2 file headers "KB2j" with HxD but I don't know how big the biggest file is actually. However I guess c1gb should be enough.

c256mb

I guess you can find out the biggest file chunk using xtool verbose mode with the bk2 plugin, but not sure.
