Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Every time I try to transfer the 7.88gb version of the harmy despecialized ed to my TB hdd, it says file too big. I've checked the fairly obvious answer and yes, I have plenty of space on the drive. It's a .iso file. I have watched the file on my netbook, it works. I just cant transfer it to another device. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be formatted as FAT 32? If yes, it's a limitation of this file system that can't hold files bigger than 4GB.

That's exactly right. I feel stupid for missing that. I might as well ask a dumber question. How do I transfer this file? I have no problem buying a new flash or hard drive.

Well, drag & drop or copy/paste

...it denies me because the file is "too big". I thought we covered this already. Never mind. I'll figure it out. Thanks.

Well I assumed you'd do that on another drive. If you want to use that drive to hold bigger files, I'd format it (losing all your data in the process, of course). If you want to do that (BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST!!!), I'd advise you to use either ExFAT or NTFS that are compatible with almost every OS, although ExFAT is just an enhanced FAT32, with almost the same limitations, except for file size. I know there is a DOS command to convert a FAT 32 drive to NTFS, but I don't remember it, and it's still a dangerous process for your data even if it worked fine for me in the past.

Hope it helps.

That does help. Thanks. I figured I'd ask around here because I was hoping someone else had this problem and would be able to tell me what they did to correct the issue. NTFS is my best bet. I'll just buy a new drive to keep it simple. Thanks again.

Sorry, been very busy lately.  Will try tonight when I get home.

An easier way: first mount the ISO using Virtual CloneDrive, then use tsMuxeR to remux the m2ts stream from the virtual drive to an AVCHD folder on your FAT32 drive (in the Split/Cut tab, split the files every 4GB). 

(BTW if you want to play on a PS3 you can use AVCHDMe to rename all the files inside the the BDMV folder to be 8.3 compliant.)

Thanks! And no need to apologize. I'm a full time teacher getting my master's on the side. I definitely understand busy. 

So, last year I released SW v2.0 on my birthday. This year I wanted to release v2.5 on this day but it didn't work out, so I decided to do something else to celebrate my birthday and release a workprint of reel 1 of The Empire Strikes Back v2.0.

Because I had a pre-set release date, I couldn't quite polish it as much as I wanted, so it is very much a work in progress and I already spotted quite a few blunders (including quite a few rendering errors, which are already there in the lossless render from After Effects - if anyone knows what could be causing these kind of bugs and how to avoid them, please help!) - it should nevertheless give you a fair idea of what ESB v2.0 will be like.

I'd of course like you to report any problems you find (at this point, all is game, even color). Please use the time code from the WP when reporting problems :-)

Woot!

Wow - 12 hours to download this.  Is there a faster link?

OK, here's a mirror: http://79i9la.1fichier.com/en/

Happy birthday Harmy and thank you!

Ditto! :)

Happy Birthday Harmy!! :D

Thank you Harmy! And Happy Birthday! Will be watching this in 35 mintues!

Happy Birthday Harmy. I just watched the test clip, i'm not sure how accurate the colors are but to me they look really nice :) did you base the colors on the gout dvd?

p.s.  Just noticed the first one is .mkv format ("ESB-v2.0-WP1-R1.mkv") and the mirror is in a .m2ts container ("ESB WP1 reel1.m2ts")…just curious, are both the same video content?

Oh, crap. I uploaded the wrong file there. The m2ts doesn't have sound, so if you're downloading that, you'll need to download the audio separately from here and mux it in yourselves.
