Why can't I save a large video clip?

I make video from my Church's Sunday services for cable TV. I'm getting weary
of travelling to the church to do the editing. My solution is to purchase a
FireWire external HDD and transport the files home and open them there for
editing. I think it will work when I save it live from Adobe Premier Pro.

So here is the problem. I have some older files that have not yet been
edited in the PC at church. When I tried to copy them to the external drive,
(160GB) it copied all of the files except the video clip which was over 12GB.
That is about 75 minutes of video before editing. There is ample room on the
drive, and all of the supporting files and folders copied ok. When I attempt
to copy the video clip it reports "Disk is full". Has anyone experienced this?

Hello, can you check to see if the drive is formatted as NTFS and not FAT32
(which doesn't support files larger then 4GB). You should be able to check
in the drive's Properties under My Computer.

Your external drive is likely formatted as fat32, which has a 4 gig file
limit size. If you want to transport larger files you will have to reformat
the drive as NTFS - which will give you unlimited file size capabilities.

Yes, I did check and I did make that change. At this point I don't remember
if I did it before or after the attempt. Thank you for the comment. That is
very possibly the problem.
 
Thank you I did make that change but right now can't remember if I did it
before or after the lastes attempt. Thanks for the reply.

Also, I'm new at this site and was not sure where to look for my post and
thought it did not take. Therefore you will likely find another on the same
subject. :-)
