Hey. New board.
Also both free for Windows in fact. Excellent easy choices.
ETA: though Handbrake is definitely easier and would be my rec. MPEG Stream clip is more powerful but somewhat less intuitive.

Because books.
I have .mkv files that won't copy onto an empty 64GB thumb drive. Are they really big? Is the format the problem?
I have them on my old laptop and played them on VLC no problem. I just want to move them now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How big are they, do you know? If the thumb drive is formatted as FAT instead of NTFS, there's a limit on file size.

Thanks, Dana. That will help, I think. I just have to look up how this thumb is formatted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think the maximum flie size on FAT 32 is 4 GB.

It is a FAT32. Hmmm. Now to get the other kind, too, I guess ...

You should be able to reformat it.
