Hi, I am a new in Paraview. I have tried to open a .vtu file with this errors:

ERROR: In vtkXMLParser.cxx, line 379  
vtkXMLDataParser (000002BC339E1540): Error parsing XML in stream at line 70, column 11, byte index -1809900100: mismatched tag

ERROR: In vtkXMLReader.cxx, line 520  
vtkXMLStructuredGridReader (000002BC38C53EC0): Error parsing input file. ReadXMLInformation aborting.

I wonder if there is something wrong with the data or the data is too large? The data is more than 2.5GB.

Many thanks!

By the way, I used Paraview under Windows 64bit. Is there any limition about the file size under Windows?
