Hi All Just a quick question about digital camera, file systems and file sizes. I have a 64MB SD card and a 16GB SD card, If inserted in to my Digital camera, which is then set to video mode (HD) i get a maximum of about 9 mins video regardless of which card I use. I am assuming that this is due to the file size limit on a FAT32 file system on the card. So I can take more than 9 mins of video, it just needs to be in chunks of 4gb which seems to be the max file size. I am getting this from "FAT32 took over from FAT16 and has a maximum drive size of 2TB. Its maximum file size is 4GB, which is why you can't copy a 5GB file to it. Its cluster size is 4KB up to a partition of 8GB. Above 8GB the cluster size grows up to 32kb." quoted from https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/what-is-the-maximum-file-size-fat-fat32-ntfs-file/1663db6b-490e-4021-9e36-f7a6976ac0c0 Thanks for any clarity Paul -- http://www.zleap.net -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
