Have a large video? Just stream it using a media server like PS3 Media Server or Plex. No need to stress about file sizes that way!

Easiest way: use a different file system like NTFS or exFAT. Unfortunately, PS3 won't read those directly, so you'll need a workaround like transferring via FTP with software like FileZilla.

Hot take: Don't bother with FAT32, dude. Go FTP. It's more efficient and you won't have to mess with splitting files.

You can't directly put files larger than 4GB on a FAT32 drive, but you can use a file-splitting tool. Splitting the file into smaller parts will bypass the FAT32 size limit. Try using software like PS3Splitter or Split4G.
