Twitch Upload File Too Large but It Is Under 20g
- #1
I used my iPhone to record an interview at piece of work. It recorded for simply over an 60 minutes earlier the battery died.
I transferred that video to my MacBook via sycing with iPhoto, and then copying information technology on to the desktop and then information technology would be easier to piece of work with.
Now I am trying to become that video onto a media (USB drive or disc) to provide my dominate.
I get messages that the interview file (at just under 9GB) is too big for the 700MB capacity CD-R disc, and too large for the unknown size disc we usually use for videos.
And then, I am trying to transfer the file off my desktop onto my 32GB USB drive that the "info" window shows yet has 30GB of available infinite. I still receive a message that the video file is too large.
What am I doing wrong and how can I get this file where I demand information technology to go?
Thanks!

Could be a couple of things. Is the USB stick formatted for Fat? If so, the max file size is 4GB. Or the USB key could have a few files in the Trash, which would need to be deleted to articulate them off the stick.
Tin can you use AirDrop to transfer to your boss' organization (you tin can if he has a Mac, and y'all both have afterward OSs)?

Thanks Kohlson.
The USB stick should be formatted appropriately. I have move photos and Word documents betwixt my MacBook and the PCs at piece of work regularly. There are, unfortunately, no Macs at work. There may be files in the trash, but they would but be a few Discussion docs, then not space-hogs. As well, the correct-click Get Info on the USB stick clearly indicates over 30GB bachelor, and the file I want to movement is under 9GB.

Thanks Kohlson.
The USB stick should be formatted accordingly.
What format is the USB stick? Word and photo files are rarely over 3MB. You are trying to motion a 9GB file, a quite different situation.
Otherwise I believe y'all tin open the video in Quicktime and export (share) as a compressed video, which reduces the file size significantly.

Can yous tell us whether the USB stick is formatted in apparently sometime Fatty or in EXFAT?
That's what Kohnson was maxim -- if information technology'due south FAT, then it doesn't matter how much free space in that location is, the stick'south not going to accept a 9 GB file.

Ohhhh, I meet. Yes. Correct-Click, Go Info says: "Format: MS-DOS (FAT32)"
I will try ColdCase's solution and see what happens.

Well, at that place's your answer. A FAT32 drive of whatever kind cannot handle a 9 GB file.
There'southward no need to compress. Simply move everything that'due south on your stick off the stick into temporary storage.
And so use Disk Utility to format the USB stick to EX-Fat (you lot practice this by re-partitioning the stick with an EX-Fat partitioning) -- this is easily-done.
Your people at the Windows end of things will discover no departure. All modernistic Windows machines are happy with EX-FAT.
Problem solved.

Can I just temporarily movement my i-2GB worth of content off the stick and onto a binder on the desktop, reformat the stick, and then movement it all back instead of trying to format different partitions on the stick?
Volition an EXFAT formatted stick however be compatible with jpg and Word files betwixt OSX and PCs?

Will an EXFAT formatted stick still be uniform with jpg and Word files betwixt OSX and PCs?
Certainly you can move off, repartition, and move back on. By "re-partitioning" I meant to affluent the former one and create a new EXFAT one.
And yes, yous won't notice any departure, and neither will anybody else. The drive format is independent of any app's format.

I would shrink it.. moving a 9gb file around on a usb stick is slow.
I also vote for mpeg stream prune..
Id make information technology a 1280x720, 3000 kbps h.264 quicktime.. that would cutdown on file size a ton.
Besides, sign up for Re-create https://world wide web.copy.com/dwelling house/
complimentary fifteen gbs cloud storage.. you could copy that big file upwardly to the server and send out a link.

I hope you're not taking my answer as being in disagreement with the 2 posters who recommend compression.
I concur that compression is a proficient idea.
Just pinch isn't the same matter equally formatting your stick so that it can take a large file. Information technology'south a different kind of solution than what I suggested. Non ameliorate, not worse, just a different way for you to do what you need to.
Doing them both would be a expert solution.

I hope you're not taking my reply as beingness in disagreement with the two posters who recommend pinch.
I agree that compression is a good idea.
But compression isn't the same thing as formatting your stick then that it tin can accept a large file. Information technology's a different kind of solution than what I suggested. Non better, non worse, just a dissimilar way for you lot to do what you need to.
Doing them both would exist a proficient solution.
True.. but lets think most this.. who wants to walk around with a 9GB file on a usb bulldoze to laissez passer around? How long would that take to transfer? x mins? 20 mins?
What nosotros dont know is if there are different platforms at his work (mac and PC) therefore you would have to format it as an ExFat disc, (usually from a windows machine)and that would allow both machines to read and copy the file, (unless you have some third political party apps installed to let a Mac to read NTFS..) Unless the file is upward on a server.. then people can read it..
If you want to keep the file original (9 gbs), merely format your thumb drive for NTFS (if on a PC) and drop the file on there (make sure your bulldoze is large enough)
I would still aim to compress information technology down a bit and pass that file off to folks.

He already said there were Windows machines -- true, he said "PC" but nosotros all know what that means.
Peradventure you don't know that Disk Utility is happy to format anything to ExFAT, and that'southward all I suggested to him. He doesn't demand a Windows machine for that.
Once his stick's in ExFAT, he can stop worrying -- he tin put whatever file that will fit, and any Windows or Mac machine will read it simply fine.
Whether he should or shouldn't keep a 9 GB video file on a USB stick is another matter. He never asked about that, if you lot recollect. He asked merely why he couldn't copy it to his USB stick, and I answered that and showed him how he could, if he wanted to.

Why for the love of pears are we still in 2014, mail service 64bit introduction, still taking most a file system from 1995??? Fat is then one-time and out dated, it is about as useful as a 1.44MB stiffy disk..

Wow 19 answers to this question and information technology's been answered correctly several times now.
OP, reformat that USB drive as ExFAT in Disk Utility. Then you can put the whole 9GB file on it. The existing format can't handle files bigger than 4GB.
And/Or OP, running it through something like Handbrake to compress it volition likely yield a much smaller file without any noticeable change in quality. No need to choose a bunch of settings or even switch to 720p. Just go with a Handbrake preset like AppleTV3 and let Handbrake practise it's thing.
The reformat will simply need to be done this one time and should piece of work well with Windows or Mac machines forever-later.
The compression part should be done with every file you shoot just so that you're non wasting a bunch of space storing these on some drives somewhere.
JustinePaula, FAT is still effectually because people still employ old computers that may not embrace ExFAT. Sell something formatted as Fat and it "but works" on annihilation. Sell something newer and it may not work for some. On the Mac side, your Mac is probably using HFS+ which was the file system for Bone eight.1 released in the late 1990s. In that location's been a few efforts to update that to something more modern as well (like the whole ZFS project http://arstechnica.com/apple/2009/x/apple-abandons-zfs-on-mac-bone-10-projection-over-licensing-issues/) just we're nonetheless using that old file organisation on our Macs.

I am certain in that location are people and companies that nonetheless use win3.1, does that mean we need to universally support them with FAT? No.. There are cars from 1900 that are mechanically sound, does that hateful the gas companies must maintain a gas supply for cars that need leaded gas? NO that would be insane, and the gas companies would hold, for good reason.
Fat is obsolete engineering science, the same for ane.44MB stiffy disks, Kodak stopped producing film stock for a reason, it was no longer popular, and aye this is sad, it renders millions of cameras inoperable, only we accept to move on..
Hankering after the past is corking, who is going to pay for this??

Having FAT 32 effectually costs money?
The OP was dislocated for longer than he should take been, but that's not FAT32's fault.
Having a generic file spec around that assures you that just most any machine out there can read what you put on a USB stick or fifty-fifty a spinning disk bulldoze is some kind of problem?
Where on earth is the downside of that?
I recollect information technology's pretty damn useful. I similar knowing that I can accept a USB stick made on my tardily-model Mac over to a PC I built fifteen years ago, that's still in use past someone else, and be confident that the old PC is going to read that stick.
I'd feel like a consummate dork if I said to my friend -- I'd like yous to take a wait at this book I'm working on, just you're going to need a new PC first, or a Mac.
Maybe you don't work in a heterogenous computing environment, or maybe everybody you exchange data with has the latest and greatest.
I always have current-generation hardware and software, but I'd guess that 50-60% of the people I substitution information with don't. And never will.
I'grand trying really hard to see the downside of keeping a ziploc bag full of USB2 FAT32 thumbdrives in my junk drawer. Or of buying a new ane and finding that (gasp!) it's formatted in FAT32 and I might need to reformat it -- a moment'southward work. And I can't.
Allow us all know what the downside is, will yous?

It is simple, a 32 or 64 GB thumb-drive is designed to be formatted and used mainly with 64bit devices, I am then hoping that before besides long USB 2.x is as dead as a dodo, it is fashion too deadening to exist useful in a 64bit system.
USB iii.x is more than efficient, a flake more than expensive, but time is money, and worth the expense.
Buy a few drives, format them Fat or FAT32, seal in a plastic glad handbag, grit and moisture free with the silica packets, leave in the computer instance, use as when required, only why I must pay for former technology makes no sense, I want speedy reliable devices, and USB 2.0 pollex drives is no longer useful for me.

Kodak was not the only producer of photographic film.
Ilford does still exist, Fuji does nonetheless exist, Agfa does still exist. Many other companies all over the globe still provide admission to photographic films, even Kodak is still offering it for medium and small format.
