If you use NTFS there isn't problem with 4 GB or more but if you need to burn a dvd you may encounter some problem with file bigger than 2 GB because you can do it only with the UDF file system and it is not so well supported. If 7-zip appears slow you can try to loose some compression and it will be much faster. Nic Dr Skip wrote: > Thanks to all who responded, it's helped me quite a bit.
