WTF...?? Makemkv says it only finds 5 gig on my 2 tb drive!

Post by cybordolphin »

Man what a pain in the arss.....

Anyone want to try to solve this one? MakeMKV say that my destination hard drive is not big enough. It is almost empty and is a 2 tb harddrive. It says that some titles won't be copied if I continue. WTF?

I normally use DVDfab.... but the prices are just way out of line now.

Thought I would try MakeMKV. Any ideas???

?
Almost empty means how much? What does properties say?
Hidden or system files or recycle bin?

I always use a 2TB hard disk on a usb3 connection (which also contains my system backups) as a temporary stopping point before transfer to my NAS drives, and never have a problem. In fact just transferred a 26GB mkv this morning, so don't think it is Makemkv.

It sounds like it's FAT32 which gives you a 4GB maximum individual file size limit.

Time to reformat as NTFS I would imagine.
