Stock OS

I'm recording video files but the problem is once I hit the 4gb limit of the SD Card, the video quits.

Couple of friends explained this is a FAT32 limit, so we tried NTFS and the stock OS doesnt recognize the card at all. Then we tried EXTFAT and while this allows files to be copied to the SD card over 4gb, the video recorder still craps out on me at 4gbs.

Anyone have any advice for how to get around this magical 4gb limit?

4GB limit is true about the FAT32 with individual file sizes. I believe if you have phone format your SD card, it'll be NTFS. Just need to change the camera to save to the SD card.

It does not format the card NTFS, and I still have the 4gb limit. I'm going to guess that even with extfat, the limit is the video recorder.

Even formatted in NTFS via a computer, it will not go over 4gb.
