Re: Accessing NTFS

[Anton]

and bear in mind that fat32 has a file limit of 2gig (maybe 4, but 4 is 
definitely the limit) so if you want to do that horrible, not-so-legal 
thing with DVDs and transcode/mencoder (i see you are wanting to play an 
avi...) then you will not be able to use the mplayer -dumpstream which 
puts the whole dvd as one file on the HD. It makes things quite a bit 
easier if you do it that way as opposed to using the .vobs from the 
dvd... Not that you would be thinking of doing such a thing :-), or that 
I would be advising you on such matters...

ps, Michael,  ext2 sounds interesting, how well does win actually handle 
it? It doesn't do what linux does to ntfs?

I don't wish to read to it, the reason I'm after it is to get a file
from Windows (namely an avi of Matrix: Reloaded) from Windows (where it
won't play) to Linux (where it does) without having to burn it to CD.
Thanks for the advice tho :)

     

What you can do is create a FAT32 partition which you can use to r/w with
both os's.
   

That's next on my list of things to do, I need a common directory sort
of thing like that to keep music on so I can play from both OSs. Will
Probably wait until the holidays when I can spend hours messing about
with it :).
I was really just looking for a quick and dirty solution for the
interim.
