How to play files bigger than 4 GB

Post by aschimeyer@gmx.ch »

Hi
I cannot find a solution in the forum, so I ask this question again.
How to split mkv-files in parts, smaller than 4 GB?
Or even bether, is there a way with a different file system on my external HDD?
Thanks for your help and best regards
Aschi

Hmm, I wasn't aware that those links on the thread were dead. I'll update them to the Archos page. Sorry about that.

I dont have the device myself, but by using lots of different Android devices, I would think it wont read NTFS drivers. I have used some Honeycomb tablet that had modules and custom apps to mount NTFS drives.

I think the device should support EXT2 formatted card, but if you were using linux with that filesystem already you wouldn't ask this.

I use softwares like AviDemux to split the MKV file. Also is there actually any Android software that provides hardware acceleration for MKV files, otherwise I would think HD MKV files would struggle to play smoothly.
