That could be the problem. Anyway she has taken it away now on the DVD so can’t duplicate the exercise. Although I did test the MOV file and it worked fine from my desktop and from the DVD. But I know more now so next time ? > On 1 Dec 2017, at 6:12 pm, Ronda Brown wrote: >

Re: [DKIM] Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

I have a huge amount of Movies on my Media Entertainment Server and I keep extra Backup copies of these movies on Thumb Drives as well as a dedicated backup external drive. I have 128GB MS-DOS (FAT32) which I copy my movies that are under 4GB. I have numerous probably around 100 just under 4GB

Re: [DKIM] Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

That’s a very interesting drive Stephen,…lol It’s Capacity is 16GB yet available space is 21GB,…lol. Is that little the Doctor Who Tardis where the space inside is much larger then the actual space? hehe. (I’d like some of those then, if I can get a 16GB drive but put 21GB worth of data on

Re: [DKIM] Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Ronnie. Initially my friend came to me with a Video taken on her iPhone (and still on her iPhone) She did not know how to get it from her iPhone to a Thumb Drive. She had tried downloading to her PC but could not achieve that. So another friend of hers (also Windows) managed to download it

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Neil, We need more information about Stephen’s Thumb Drive and the movie file he is trying to copy to the thumb drive. What format is the Thumb Drive? - whether there is ‘trash’ still on the Thumb Drive taking up room - what is the Video file extension .mov .wmv .mp4? Stephen: Connect the

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Guys, Been following this with some interest ­ but now I¹m a bit confused ;o) If the file size limit on FAT32 is 4GB, why is Stephen having problems with a file that is a bit bigger than 2GB? Is there some sort of issue with files over 2GB (but under 4GB) on FAT32? If not - then Stephens

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Folks, Just adding my chart on formats & size limits. FAT32 (File Allocation Table) Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X. Maximum file size: 4GB. Maximum volume size: 2TB exFAT (FAT64) Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later. exFAT partitions created with OS X

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Many thanks from me too Daniel. I was aware of the trash oddity, it can be a little misleading. To be honest, I’ve not even noticed exFAT, but next time I wish to transfer a file over 2GBs, I will certainly follow your suggestion. Cheers Jewels > On 30 Nov 2017, at 10:54 PM, Daniel Kerr

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Are yes,…sorry, my bad. Forgot you’d said it was over 2GB. (Sorry I got sidetracked on talking about the Trash,…lol) - I may have misread the email in passing. Ooops..sorry. Too long a day (week),…lol. If ti’s going to a Windoze user and they have a fairly recent Windows system then you should

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Daniel. Thank you for your extensive information. It seems that the issue with MS-DOS (Fat 32) is that it cannot store files above 2GB in size. The video file I wanted to store is 2.3GB. Perhaps Mac OS Journaled does not have this restriction ? But that is an issue if it is to be used by a

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Stephen and all,…. Just a few other things that can affect this as well. I’ll try explain it as best as possible. With a Thumb Drive, if you have any items on it, and these get put into the “Trash”, they will stay there. Unless the Trash is “emptied” then although the Thumb Drive “appears

Hi Rob. Just tried thumb drive 16GB again. Does appear in Finder Sidebar. Also now appears in Disk Utility (must have a mind of its own - now you see me, now you don’t) Formatted in MS-DOS(Fat 32) Other options are: Mac OS Ext Journaled Mac OS Ext Case sensitive Journaled ExFat Which do you

Strange. I just inserted one and it came up in disk utility. Another one didn't come up immediately, but did ask if I wanted to erase it. Does the thumb drive appear in the finder? Rob On 30/11/17 6:45 pm, Stephen Chape wrote: Thank you Rob. Do you know how to format a thumb drive ? It does

Re: Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi Stephen I've experienced this a few years ago. As I recall The drives are probably formatted with one of the old Windows formats - can't remember the name... FAT? On these drives the size limit of a single file is around 2GB If you format the drive with a modern Windows format, it

Strange case of "oversize video file" ?

Hi folks. Today a friend asked me to copy an MOV file onto a thumb drive for him. The file is 2.23GB. It will not copy to a 8GB or a 16GB or a 32GB thumb drive because “it is too large for the drives”. I have since burnt onto a DVD for him instead. But I cannot understand what happened. Any
