This is a limitation of the Windows scrollbar. There are parts of it that only handle 16bit signed integers, which have a maximum value of 32767. One of those parts is used by the mousewheel API. You can't scroll beyond that point (frame 32767)...

I doubt there's anything you can do about it.

The scrollbars themselves can be set to have a greater range, but the mouse wheel API doesn't use that by default. To handle this case properly, VD would have to handle the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message itself (if you don't do Win32 programming, you'll have no idea what that means). It's not all that difficult, but I doubt it would be a very high-priority thing.

To be honest, I never knew it was even possible to use the mouse wheel for this. Can't say I think it's very useful either. You might want to try the cursor keys.
