flash drive, files too big to transfer

[krazylegz]

I have a 32G flash drive currently formatted to FAT32, but as you know you can't transfer files bigger than 4g over.

The movie I have to transfer over is 9.5g so won't copy. If I format it to NTFS it will copy but then wont be recognised in my panasonic blueray 3d player.

Any ideas anyone as I'm sick of using discs like there's no tomorrow

Check for updates to the bluray player or get smaller size films. Maybe look at getting something that supports ntfs

i have tried a panasonic bd player and also with panasonic tv 32 in and both recognize my hdd 500gb ntfs file system and it works fine what i believe is that you need to use a usb formatting tool to do the task or your bd player needs to be upgraded

Down load the Divx ac3 or blue ray rip of same mate
That will fit on
May lose some quality but save on discs .............Paul

Cheers all

I'll have a look at upgrading it as I don't really wanna down grade the files as I want them in 1080p

theres a lot of media players oot there that support ntfs and fat 32, some cheap some dearer, i use wdtv live networked media player, ,most of them will play just about any video format, i think this is your best option, they range from bout ?20 beer tokens to about 70 for the wdtv live, or another option if your tv or blueray player is dlna you could use this ---> Serviio media server if siad tv or blueray player is dlna to stream the films from your pooter.

have you tried partitioning the drive in half m8 to make 2 drives at 16gb, also pretty sure ya cannot have fat32 greater than 20 gig

The drive formats fine in ntfs mate just you can't copy files bigger than 4.3gig over

dlna over serviio works ok but if you use ps3 media server is better than serviio for video streaming but the situation is when you are using fat32 file system. my suggestion is to use ntfs and it will let you copy those file and tried a lot steps already and this is the only one that worked for me or maybe you can re-format the drive fat32 and change cluster's size
