Memory sticks film watching
Not DIY as such, but information off the techno bods
I'm thinking of gettin a 64gb memory stick for watching films off, for Xbox an tv etc.
We've got a 16gb that works excellent at the minute. But can't hold enough kiddies films, an our films for when we go away,
Plus, my sata drive is full. We prefer the small USB drive simply for convenience.
BUT, I believe some devices/software don't like large memory devices plugged in. Ie my camera will run a 4gb sd card fine.
Plug an 8gb sd card in. Same brand/make
It doesn't like it an switches off???
Secondly, is it possible to partition a memory stick the same way you can do a conventional hard drive, to help the situation?
Many thanks in advance. Chris

Best way is through your tv with something like this.
Android can handle fat32 or ntfs, just pick a suitable app that can handle wifi streaming, or just throw in a memory card with your player of choice.

Quite a few devices also support a format called ExFAT (64 bit FAT) FAT= File Allocation Table. It's the technology that helps holds and indexes files to be read by other devices.
Not all operating systems support ExFAT natively, or format in it. Windows 7 has native support. You can I believe get the ExFAT as an add on do windows XP.
Quite a few Panasonic devices support ExFAT for movie/TV playback. I know as my 2010 Panny Plasma and Blu-ray player supports this.
As for a bigger USB drive, then I cannot see an issue with using a 64GB USB drive.
