PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have had enough trouble figuring out how to record my old vhs to the computer. Now, I need to know how to get it onto a flash drive, dvd, or something to make room on the computer. Everything I have tried says there is not enough room to do so. I have 15 gb flash drives, and i have tried and tried to save a 7gb movie. What am I doing wrong? I am about ready to send my movies to a professional and spend the hundreds of dollars to spare myself the stress!!

Give us some more detail. What format are the movies and how are you trying to move them to the flash drive? Just drag and drop or burn them as a dvd format? Are they on the computer now or are you trying to produce them to a flash drive? __________________________________

well.

your flash drive is probably formatted to FAT32. biggest file size you can store in that condition is 4GB.

if you format the flash drive to either exFat and or NTFS, then you can save whole 7GB movies to your

15GB flash drive.

make sure to save whatever is on that flash drive before formatting to exFat and or NTFS!

p.s.
