This my email I sent Insignia about this problem--
I have a 8gig Kingston usb drive
that is formated to fat32 that im using through the usb port on bluray player
to play movie files.for example I put a mkv or mp4 file that is just over
2gigs or 3gigs on it plays fine intil around 2gig than it just stops like the
movies over.there is even poste on your website with people having the same
problem.----
Here is the email response I recieved back about NS-BRDVD3-Ca ----
Let me tell you that actually, the Player does not support this file type. So,
although you are able to play the first 2 GB, there is a size restriction.
Unfortunately this is a feature that we still do not have update plans yet.
I am sorry I cannot give you the answer you were looking form, but any other
question, let me know.
---This doent make sence to me one bit.If it plays it ,it supports it .they just screwd up and put some stupid 2gig restriction,that there to lazy to fix.I have my own fix return to store and never buy from them again.![]()

Tried a 925MB DivX and no-go. Sorry.

4.3GB? On disc, right? or is there a workaround for the 4GB FAT32 limit?

4.3 g MKV on a UDF DVD burned by Nero worked.

zuva2rex,
Thanks for replying.... I did get (and installed) the update for my NS-BRDVD3 now. I also tested a DivX file with the same results. This is no real problem tho as I just convert it to MKV or Xvid AVI file using a freeware video converter utility.... or I burn it to DVD using a commercial program, CovertXtoDvd.

Late as it may be, I'd say that the insignia folks seem to have come through on this issue. I think this thread needs a heading of solved.

How do you figure they've "come through" on this issue?

Nevermind.....I saw on the previous page it was fixed!.....stupid forum software won't let me edit my previous post.

Did you ever find out if there is a workaround for the 4GB FAT32 limit other than converting to smaller size? I have soem mkv files that are over 4GB and one that is 6GB.

Cannot find a workaround. Would need Insignia to support other formats. FAT isn't going to change and I am sure NTFS is out of the question. I am sure there are other open formats but just not sure where to look plus Insignia would have to support it. I am just converting down to >4GB.
