  1. Copying large MP4 files


    I have a flash drive created by a company that transfers old 8mm movies and old VHS tapes to digital format. The files are formatted in MP4 and the total volume the 30 separate files on this drive is approximately 105Gb. Most of the files are less than 4Gb but some are between 4 and 5Gb. None are greater than 5Gb. While attempting to bulk copy the files to a large capacity SanDisk flash drive (128Gb capacity), all of the files that are less than 4Gb transferred without a problem. All that are greater than 4Gb did not. When I try to individually transfer the larger files, I get an error message telling me that there is not enough storage space on the target flash drive. Looking at the available space on the target shows that there is plenty of space remaining. Are there some settings in Windows or in SanDisk preventing the transfers of files over a certain size? Anyone have any clues? Thanks.

    :)

  3. Copying large MP4 files

    Upon opening the "format" command, "exFAT" is the default. The only other choice is "NTFS" with no numbers attached. I changed to that, selected one of the large files to copy, and it copied perfectly. Thanks for you help.

    Copying large MP4 files

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
