Hello,
I have an MPEG 4 Full HD tv and I want to use a usb memory stick to store films and watch them back on my tv.A 8 GB memory stick is ok to record 2 films of about 4 hours or do I need 16 GB?
 
Be careful to use a format that the TV can handle. Most TVs will recognize FAT file system variants but not NTFS - and FAT can't store individual files that are larger than 4GB. If you have films longer than that then you'll have to use one of the video formats that splits continuous movies up into smaller individual files, such as that used by DVD or AVCHD. And of course your TV needs to be able to recognize and play that video format.
