[Q] Files on ext SDHC larger than 4gb?

---

I want to put some movies on my SDHC and the internal, but I can't copy files over larger than 4gb. Is there a workaround?

Convert your files to something more appropriate for a portable.

480p screeen resolution, so no need for 720+

It's a limitation of the filesystem the SD card uses, fat32. You'd have to format the sd card to use a different filesystem AND flash the kernal so that it can read said filesystem.

I know, but since I had them already encoded, and sitting on my hard drive, I'd just throw them on there. I'm all for a kernel that will read NTFS formatted volumes. Thanks for the replies.

Why would you have bluray size movies on a hard drive when they won't look any better (because you're not playing them on a bluray player)

NTFS is not one of the current possibilities, plus even a desktop version of linux has compatability issues with it. I don't know file size restrictions, but current kernels you can flash will support ext2,3, and 4. I think someone is also trying to build a kernel for yaffs.

I backed up all my Blu-Ray's to .mkv files in 720p. That way I can have them on my HTPC that's in the living room. Also, my kids have dirty little hands, and I don't want them ruining my originals. My desktop PC gets regular movie use too. 24" 1080p ASUS monitor. )

Galaxy Note also has this problem. How can I copy a video more than 4G. Note support 720p.

EXfat would be a godsend if some one wrote a kernal supporting it ..

u guys can always split the files in smaller parts, i use mkvtoolnix(freeware) to split mkv files into multiple parts while leaving the original untouched and doesnt take a whole lotta time depending on file size
