makeMKV not allowing to save to spare drive

Post by Deke1955 »

I've been using the program successfully for a short while but, since changing from Linux Mint to Ubuntu Mate the program has difficulty in allowing me to save as follows; if I rip a disc and then select titles to save I get the following error message,

"The size of output file '/media/deke/Toshiba_320/Videos/title_t00.mkv' may reach as much as 21375 megabytes while target filesystem has a file size limit of 4095 megabytes. Do you still want to continue (title will be skipped)?"

If I continue, it seems to save a title with nothing in it which takes seconds to do. So, the job is not carried out.

This destination is a USB controlled spare disc that I have fitted to my laptop for just such a job. Other operations with other programs have not had a fault. Is it perhaps something to do with the original formatting of the disc?

Thanks in advance.

If the drive is formatted with FAT32, then it won't allow large files.
