- Why would a non mac video card work for a time full#
I'm trying really hard to see the downside of keeping a ziploc bag full of USB2 FAT32 thumbdrives in my junk drawer. I always have current-generation hardware and software, but I'd guess that 50-60% of the people I exchange information with don't. Maybe you don't work in a heterogenous computing environment, or maybe everybody you exchange data with has the latest and greatest. I'd feel like a complete dork if I said to my friend - I'd like you to take a look at this book I'm working on, but you're going to need a new PC first, or a Mac. I like knowing that I can take a USB stick made on my late-model Mac over to a PC I built fifteen years ago, that's still in use by someone else, and be confident that the old PC is going to read that stick.
Having a generic file spec around that assures you that just about any machine out there can read what you put on a USB stick or even a spinning disk drive is some kind of problem?
The OP was confused for longer than he should have been, but that's not FAT32's fault.

There's been a few efforts to update that to something more modern too (like the whole ZFS project ) but we're still using that old file system on our Macs. On the Mac side, your Mac is probably using HFS+ which was the file system for OS 8.1 released in the late 1990s. Sell something newer and it may not work for some. Sell something formatted as FAT and it "just works" on anything. JustinePaula, FAT is still around because people still use old computers that may not embrace ExFAT. The compression part should be done with every file you shoot just so that you're not wasting a bunch of space storing these on some drives somewhere. The reformat will only need to be done this one time and should work well with Windows or Mac machines forever-after. Just go with a Handbrake preset like AppleTV3 and let Handbrake do it's thing. No need to choose a bunch of settings or even switch to 720p. The existing format can't handle files bigger than 4GB.Īnd/Or OP, running it through something like Handbrake to compress it will likely yield a much smaller file without any noticeable change in quality. Then you can put the whole 9GB file on it. OP, reformat that USB drive as ExFAT in Disk Utility. Wow 19 answers to this question and it's been answered correctly several times now.
