HDD Media Recorder Q

[Tun@]

In regard to this HDD media recorder/player here

What's this guy trying to say in the 2nd review?

Flaw is you can not transfer more than 5GB file directly from your PC to HMR but only via NTFS partition in a PC HDD , which I hope a future firmware upgrade will solve. I will keep an eye on ellion site for further firmware updates

Would you read that as the player does or does'nt support NTFS formatted HDD

Sounds as if it supports FAT32 as standard, but if I recall correctly FAT32 had a 2GB file size limit...

 

[Tun@]

yeah Fat32 is 4GB restriction.....just under single layer non compressed Dvd 4.5GB needed size,which is why i'm being nosey re NTFS supported player or not.
Shall see what i can google up,as i can't make sense of what that comment actually means.

2Gb fat limit was on Win 98 was'nt it?...your showing your age Beanie

OK it does support NTFS but as read only,but i guess thats better than what some will do......will play Video_TS files from a NTFS file for what i can gather.

Theres one for sale up in classifieds atm
