Mostly, people end up frustrated after trying to copy their favorite movie in blue ray format onto a USB drive or an external drive. When they try to do so, they will get an error message saying the file is too large for the file system. The reason is most of the drives are FAT32 formatted, so the maximum file size they will allow is (2^32)-1 bytes, or one byte less than a full 4GB.
The workaround for this problem is
1. To convert the FAT drive to NTFS, it is still a good idea to back up your data before your convert, though.

2. If you don’t want to reformat the drive, then split the file into parts and then copy the files onto the drive but hold on, you cannot extract the file in the same place as the problem will be the same, and again you will get the same error message. It is to carry the file on a FAT32 formatted drive. Later you can extract it either to an NTFS formatted drive or to your PC then watch the movie.
