Actually, Blu-ray movies can be more than 10-15 GB each, if you rip an image of the disc! Also, I've heard that the theoretical limit for an individual file is 4 GB under FAT32 filesystem, please...

You should use NTFS on external drives that aren't removed regularly. There are a lot of NTFS enhancements that make it more secure and robust than FAT32. If you were removing the drive regularly or...

You will surely run into movies that are bigger than 2 gigs, so regardless of other factors, NTFS is the way to go.. I have a 2 TB drive for movies, and my guess is that 10% to 20% of them are...
