I can't read correct filesize of an 12 GByte file

I am trying this program but I get the wrong file size?

sf = File.size('D:\DVD_CAPTURE\uvs040114-003.MPG')
puts sf

The file I try to read the size of = 12 152 090 kB is uvs040114-003.MPG

This simple test program prints -441161728 is there a bug?

It should print 12 152 090 000 bytes.

Have I missed something??

Best regards

require 'win32/file'

It should work after you do that. Do gem install win32-file if you don't have win32-file (it's included with the latest one-click installer, though).
