Formating SD Card to NTFS?

[asianrage]

So, I was trying to place a few HD movies onto the card, but then found out that the card is formatted as Fat32. Is it possible to format the card to be NTFS and still use it with Froyo?

The card will not be recognized by the phone if you format as NTFS. You will need to split the movie(s) into multiple files.

What size is the video that concerns you about the FAT32 partition? Most HD Digital Copies of movies are only 2 Gigs and these files shouldn't have any issues being used on the device..

FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB...some high def movie files (i.e. Bluray rips) do exceed that.

I know the size limits of FAT32 partitions but it sounds like you are using the wrong codac because MP4 can do dvd quality videos in a format smaller than that.. Plus you are not running it on a 55 inch TV at 1080p so why would you see the need to save them in a large file size..

I play HD quality videos on a 55 inch TV all the time and the quality is flawless and my files are only 2 Gigs at max...

I'm not arguing that either...at all.

I have mostly 720p .MKVs and those often goes over 4GB. I should really re-encode those, however to be smaller @ DVD res spec.

He might be trying to screen mirror from the phone to a WiFi tv, Chromecast, Fire stick, Roku or any WiFi connection on a BD player. I have found that so far Screen mirroring software is still way behind on tech. Now as far as lagging goes on the other hand 'casting' is very smooth for my use.
