turns out micros~1 won't allow the transfer of 2+GB files around a fat32 drive, so i'm stuck here with nearly 10GB of video footage that i can't transfer to my windows drive for processing into smaller divx files.

You can split the file into small pieces, transfer them, and concatenate them under MS-Windows: $ split -b1000m bigfile $ cp x* /windows_fs In Linux, files can be concatenated by "cat x* > file". In MS-DOS, the syntax is something like "copy /b +f1 +f2 file" (see the manual, I don't remember it exactly). -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
