Hello, I have a Kingston 8GB USB 3.0 Data-traveler USB Drive and I need to put a video file on it that is 6GB in size. My problem is for my job, I have to do a video presentation and the equipment I'm working with is a Blu-Ray Player with a USB port and it's reader is limited to FAT32. I tried exFAT and NTFS and it does not work on the player. They don't have a PC or Mac set up for me to use instead. Is there any way around this?
 
Solution
use something like handbrake to shrink the video a little.

But test that it works before you use it for real. Or you could split it into 2 videos (not as clean though)
FAT32 is limited to 4gb max file size, so your 6gb video file will not work.

You can experiment with a video editing software called handbrake and see if you can reduce the frame rate and resolution enough to get it down to 4gb (you will need to make sure the file container/compression algorithm you use is supported by the Blu-ray player).
