Hi Blitto, thanks for the additional detail there. With preparing and sending 10 movie files, is there a way to confirm with one file up front to confirm file type compatibility prior to going to all that effort?
Also, perhaps if we know the make/model of Smart TV for the recipient, we can do some online sleuthing to even confirm prior to any further work what file type is compatible? A quick Google search for Sony smart TV’s yielded the following. I think the Handbrake (application) will be able to make an export file of the movies to suit whatever the recipient’s TV make/model is. Also important to know is the maximum single file size limit of 4GB for Ex-Fat formatted USB’s.
