ok I guess this explains the issue I was having the other day then.
I had a MKV movie (was about 6GB) and I was trying to play it on a Sony LCD using the built-in media player on the TV.
First of all the TV cant pick up a NTFS partition, so I had to change it to FAT32. Then I couldnt copy the movie on...
I found a app that I could "tweak" the MKV file. It basically changes the container to MP4, no recoding. Takes about 10 sec for a 6GB file. I enabled the 4GB limit and it split the file for me.
Plugged that in and I was a for away... So the TV can play the x264 codex, just doesnt like the MKV container.
One would think that the tv manufacturers would do something about that.....
