I have a 32 gig thumb drive that I want to put HD videos on to play on
my TV.  (So far the best way I have found to

All works well except that the 5GB files do not copy happily.  At about
4GB the copy process fails complaining the file is to large, or it fails
silently.

I have tried drag and drop in Nautilus, the cp command and the dd
command.  I was about to use split, cp and cat but if some one has a
reason this is happening it could speed things up remarkably.

I am wondering if another file system might help.  According to mount it
is vfat, the drive I am copying the files from is fuseblk (not sure what
that is).

Any ideas?

cheers
