The NTFS problem again

[Kardi]

I use a USB (Kingston 8GB) to transfer videos i have download from torrents etc to watch them on my TV (using a DVD player that is USB compatible).my problem is that if i format the USB to FAT 32i cant copy files larger than 4 GB (most ISO files are larger) and if i format it to NTFS i cant use it with the DVD player as it doesnt support NTF, what should i do?

Get a DVD player that supports NTFS?

Get a media player that supports NTFS?

Create your own vidoes that fit under the 4gb limit?

Don't get ripped ISOs from the interwebz?

Thanx Neomaine for taking the time to reply but none of your "solutions" help. Thanx anyway

you can split the file into two parts.

re-encode the file to a smaller size

or Try formatting your USB drive with exFat to see if your DVD player recognises it, i haven't tried it but it might be an option

Actually, each one of them directly corrects the problem. Between mine and dk145's suggestion of splitting up the file, you're pretty much out of options.

Sorry for sounding ignorant dk145, but are there programs available to split AVI, ISO files? Any suggestions would help, if you cant name them on the forem, its fine i will google it. Thanx for the help

Kardi,

For splitting an AVI, which is probably divx/xvid, I believe AVIDemux and do that. At worst you can use VirtualDub in direct stream copy and clip the video somewhere at the end a scene somewhere towards the middle.

For ISO's probably a lot more trouble than its worth.

Personnally, I'd get a media player like the WDTV Live and network to your computer. It plays just about anything you can throw at it.
