Hi,

I have a big capture file, then I display it and filter it to the parts that interest me. I then "Save As" and select from the packet range either "Captured" and "Specify a range" or I select "Displayed" in order to save the smaller file.

When trying to open the new capture file I always get the error message and can't open the file:
"The capture file appears to be damaged or corrupt.
(pcap: File has 193896448-byte packet, bigger than maximum of 65535)"

Any idea would be apreciated.

Best regards
Carsten Langer
