i have been copying dvd to my hard drive, then putting them on a usb thumb drive to put on my laptop to have when i am on the road. but, some dvd will not move to the thumb drive. the error comes up saying "file is too big for file location". and these r files that r 4GB and up, but i have a 32GB thumb drive that is empty. im not sure what im doing wrong. thanks for ur help in advance. also i have noticed that the dvds that give me a problem seem to be enhanced dvd. not sure if that is the root of the problem or not.

Pretty simple really on this one. Your thumb drive is formatted with either FAT or FAT32 and doesn't support files over 4GB. You can reformat your thumb drive with NTFS and it will support files over 4GB then. Though it will no longer be compatable with OS that doesn't support NTFS like Windows98 and older MAC OS.
