What format? I use mvktoolnix for mkv and VirtualDubMod for avi. Just split your files in two to get under the 4GB limit. There's also another thread where someone was able to format their SD card to ext2 to bypass the 4GB limit.

I haven't tried this myself, but this could work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15167790&postcount=41
You can also try searching "4gb limit" and you'll find a bunch a threads with more information.

I have a 32GB micro SDHC card which in my phone. Theoretically, this should allow me to record 5 hrs of 1080p HD video OR 7hrs+ of 720p HD video.
I tested this earlier today by setting the camera to record and walking away. However, after the filesize of the video reached 4GB, the recording stopped.
I'm aware of the FAT32 filesize restrictions and I'm sure this is why the file recording stopped at 4GB, but, I'm curious if there is anyway I can bypass this limit by reformating my SD External card to another filesystem.
If I format the card to EXT2/3/4, will the phone still read & write to it? How do I do this most effectively?
Thanks!
Search question has been asked multiple times before and may even have an answer.

What's the fix for this? I have researched a lot and can't find the solution.
Format to NTFS and use those modules

Hi,I have a lot of 1080p movies-mkv and all of them are more then 4GB.
I formatted my SD card to NTFS settings.
I copied the movie but when I disconnect my phone,He give me a notice that I must to format the SD card.
How do I solve this issues?
Thanks.
You need to format the SD card using FAT32. I think there is a 4 GB file size limit, but not positive. If so, you'll need to split your .mkv files into two pieces.
I knew this option(=to split the file) but why the hell in this superphone I can't copy a file larger then 4GB to SD or to my memory?
Samsung probably uses FAT32 for compatibility reasons. Pretty sure FAT32 is the standard for SD cards. Maybe the SGS2 can recognize a different format. Definitely won't be NTFS though.
You could also compress the videos.
NTFS is created and owned by Microsoft. They probably want some money if you sell devices with it, if they allow it at all. SGS2 has no problems with larger files if you use an open source file-system like ext4.

How do you format a SD card with ext4? Clockwork Recovery? Also, what do you need to do in order for a PC to recognize it?
It's because there are no drivers for reading an NTFS file system. Having a 4gb mkv file and playing it on your SGS2 is a waste anyways. There are no benefits to pumping such high bitrate/resolution unless you're doing HDMI out.

The benefit is that you don't need to waist time transcoding , you can just drag and drop n play.
There are some solutions how to read ext4 in windows one of them is this reader like explorer , you can also find programs to partition your sdcard to ext4, google is your friend. Oh and format your removable SDcard don't mess with integrated
I watch my movies with subtitles.
I have mkv movie and srt file attached with same name.works fine in my pc.
So I merge the movie with subtitle and split the prepared file in order to copy the movie to my SD card.
I do it with this application:mkvmerge GUI
But when I play the movie in my phone,the stock player or any other player(vplayer,mVideoplayer...) don't show the subtitle.
Why?
Thanks.
stockplayer can't display integrated subs , only external. However mVideoplayer can and should work.
I used this MKVtoolnix 4.9.1 to mux subtitles in and split the movie.

It's not show the subs.
I try to do the same with mkv video that smaller than 4G.
Now mVideoplayer shows the subs as opposed to stock player.

Not exactly true, i've downloaded a .mvk file (720p HD movie) and .srt file and put them in a folder on my phone, and by using mVideoplayer or Stock player, both plays with subtitle without any problems.. But I have no idea if that's what my rom or anything else i use has an affection to it. just wanted you to know
Edit: I didn't merge them, recoded or whatever it's called to make it work.

Normally that means the video stream index is screwed. Down to how u or some1 else encoded it.
Play on computer using VLC and if prompted by VLC "rebuild index".
Or encode it again in a nice format with keyframes and/or indexes.
Well the phone doesn't natively recognize ntfs, so that's not really a solution unless you want to run script files to mount and unmount the card. A more practical solution would be to re encode the movies. I'm assuming these 4gb files are 720p or similar resolution. As the s2 has a resolution of 800x480 anything larger is pointless.

good point, there is really no need for 720p or higher resolutions! best way is to reencode to a mp4 with a resolution of 480p/i and if that file is really bigger than 4Gb, why not split it in half? It's not like your phone can handle a 6h (or more? not sure ) movie with one charge. Or the bitrate is ridiculously high, bloating the file unneccessariely.
I just sold my transformer and one of my largest issues was the tablet could not play h264 movies. They ran very slowly, some apps would play the movie with no sound, others would play the sound but both the video and sound were very slow. Anyways you look at it, the transfomer could not handle bluray quality h264 movies.

4Gb limitation is not entirely an Android limitation, it's a FAT32 limitation.
Nvidia's demo showed the Transformer Prime playing high profile 1080P video.
Yes Asus Prime will play your h264.
And it can handle 4GB + files

yes its a fat32 storage limitation.
if you want bigger files (eg a h264 mkv) it must be on your
internal storage (which is ext3/4 formatted) or you have to format
your sd-card as ext3/4, which will make it unreadable from windows.
correct me if im wrong
propaply there is a windows-ext3/4 tool where you could r/w ext partitions?
Any chance HC or ICS can read exFAT? That would solve cross compatibility and file size problems.

On the swedish android site swedroid.se forum there are a guy from Asus that can answer questions about Prime.
On Primes internal storage they have no problem with big files, they have tried with a 7gd+ and that work good.
"ANTIFISH" explained it good.
If you use MicroSD the limitations are 4GB because of fat32,
If you connect a hard drive that is NTFS the Prime can mount it and handle files that are bigger than 4GB.
This is way I going to buy the 64GB version, but just because the MicroSD can't handle big files and you have to use the Primes storage for those files.

Is it possible to format the MicroSD card as NTFS? Wouldn't this solve the problems while still allow the MicroSD card to be writable/readable in Windows PCs?
I thought the original Transformer could read NTFS. I thought I remembered reading that someone hooks up a usb hard drive to their dock and plays movies off of it and that it was formatted NTFS.
I'm a heavy Linux guy (since '93), but I'd rather have it place nice with NTFS then exFAT. I can r/w NTFS just fine now thanks to ntfs-3g. Just format the sdcard as NTFS when and the problem should be solved for large files.
I've been waiting for the Prime because it can play High Profile 4.0 h.264 video in hardware.
I've already converted my entire movie/tv collection into h.264 files last spring. Took me three months with six computers working 24x7. I have over 2800 movie and tv files to watch now. Should keep me busy for several years.
I've always ran a custom rom on the original and was able to read NTFS with my drive hooked up. Don't know about stock stock..

I think i will be better to go with the dock and a small usb drive or stick. Instead of 32gb more you can have nearly 200gb more and you can transfer the movies from the disk to the Transformer.
On my original Transformer I was always able to use ES File Explorer to read files from my PC.
I was also able to stream movies and music via this app. I wonder if that would work on the prime also?
My hope is to store more on my nas and less on my tablet!

as the extent to i know you can play the video format such as H.264 (HP @ 40Mbps), VC-1 AP, MPEG2, MPEG-4,H.263, Theora, DivX 4/5, XviD HT, , VP8, WMV, Sorenson Spark, Real Video, VP6.

Use BSPlayer (lite). It has an integrated file manager with smb support. Another option is to transfer and watch the movie at the same time.

What about .mkv files? I know it's just a container and not a video format, but severel devices had problems with them.
I do what i want, because I can.

Yea I'm curious about this too. Most TV shows and movies you find online in HD nowadays seem to be in .mkv format.
There is a video on YouTube of Prime playing .mkv file (which is said to be h264 high profile 1080p video) without any problems.
Hey guys! So, I would like to use our OG to play movies when I go over to friends' places. I have the MHL adapter and I have the movies (1080P) but I can't get my movies to copy over to the SD card. My movies are around 8-10GB and I know that FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB, so I'm trying to figure out how I should format the card so that I can transfer files larger then 4GB to the SD card!! Any Ideas? I tried ext4, but this was just reformatted to FAT32 when I put it in the OG.
Did some searching and found this . . .
