Nope!

The only way round is to batch capture - and, that, frankly, is what most people do out of choice (and it works okay even with long, continuous, shots, because the joins are seamless).

Alternatively, get a different card, such as the DVRaptor, which uses a "wrapper" around the AVI to - as I recall - double the file size possible to 4GB.
