I can copy recordings to a USB stick, but there seems to be a limit of 4Gb to the size of the file on the stick.
I have recorded "Gone with the Wind" which is over 4hr long but only 3hr 12mins are on the USB stick.
Has anyone else found this? Is there any setting to extend this limit.

I use the USB stick to transfer files to my computer, then use "Leawo Video Converter" and Cyberlink Media Suite to save files to DVD to view later.
This can only be done with SD files not HD

The limit is down to FAT32 format. The standard box will only read ntfs drives. The custom firmware adds ntfs write capability and ftp transfer direct to a PC amongst a load of other goodies.

Welcome to the forum.
