1272651 2012-04-29 03:56:00 why wont a 16 gig flash drive take a one 8 gig file zpole (14681)
1272652 2012-04-29 03:59:00 It'll have to be formatted in NTFS. You'll get an error if you try and copy anything over 4 GB to it (if its formatted in FAT32) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272653 2012-04-29 04:19:00 if i format in ntfs will it still play on my dvd player thanks zpole (14681)
1272654 2012-04-29 04:20:00 No I think most dvds only support FAT / FAT32 Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272655 2012-04-29 04:21:00 Speedy you have an answer for everything. ChazTheGeek (16619)

1272657 2012-04-29 04:28:00 I think these Freeview HD receivers with USB ports only support FAT32 formatted hdds too. Too bad if whatever is over 4 GB. After its been recorded. The end of it, will probably get cut off Speedy Gonzales (78)
1272658 2012-04-29 04:37:00 While NTFS would work for a flash drive, I'd format it as exFAT instead if you can, this is designed for flash drives whereas NTFS is designed for hard drives.

As for the Freeview recorder, I would think that the recorder splits the recording into several <=4GB files and chain them together...

1272659 2012-04-29 06:16:00 My money is on this being a downloaded HD Video file, which probably won't play anyway coz it'll be h.264 / aac in an MKV container... Chilling_Silence (9)
1272660 2012-04-29 19:55:00 I assume it's a movie(big at 8gb) ,try putting it through Freemake www.filehippo.com to see if it's a problem with the file ,try it in some other format as well

And,is your 16Gb USB drive really 16GB or a knock off?
