It tells me that the file is too large; it's talking about FAT32 and MTSN or something like that.

    Hello to you too,

    If the film "weighs" more than 4 GB, it is not recognized in FAT32 format; you need to format the USB stick to exFAT or NTFS.

    Hello,

    You're not saying it… But your USB drive is too small, that's the first reason… In fact, you're not saying anything at all in your text… except that you saw a vague error message…

    You're ignoring the size of your file and also the size of your USB drive…

    If the FAT32 format doesn't work for it, it's because your video is larger than 4GB in size.

    You have two options…

    1° buy a larger USB drive and format it to NTFS, then copy your video as it is.
    2° Re-encode your video to make a smaller file; one that fits on your USB drive…

    Here are many re-encoding software options to consider for what you want to do.
