Hi , I have a movie with high capacity ( more than 4gb) and I can not put it in my Nokia N900 as other lower capacity movies. Pls help me to solve this problem. Thanks

The problem is likely because the main storage space of the N900 is formatted as FAT32 which caps out at 4 GBs per file size. Thus if you want to put a bigger file on there you may have to re-format the storage drive into a type that can support bigger files (like EXT2).

Thanks for your information, and how can I change the mass storage to put the bigger video in my phone ?

its reasonably tricky, and will mean you will only be able to read/write to the n900 over the usb cable from a linux machine (ubuntu or similar). So I'm really not sure you want to do this. How about you use 7-zip and split the large movie file up into smaller volumes?

I'm assuming you just want to transfer it somewhere, seeing as theres not much chance of the n900 being powerful enough able to play back such a huge file..

Can't Windows 7 and OS X read EXT2 and 3 now?

Don't know about Windows 7, but OS X certainly can't.

Windows 7 and ext3?

*checks temperature in hell* ... nah, not yet frozen over...

There is a 3rd party driver to read/write ext2 for Windows, though. But Microsoft still pretends such a filesystem does not exist.

Because the mass storage of N900 so huge, and I thought it like a hard drive of a computer, and properly there is a way to format it.
