Hello,

I'm transcoding video contents for my XBox360 (USB, no streaming), using H.264 (profile 4.1).
I'm trying to retain as much quality as possible, so I end up with very large files (20+ GB).

Since the XBox360 only reads FAT32 drives, I have the dreaded 4GB file limit.
Is there a way to "chain" many MP4 files, so that I can watch say a 24 GB movie splitted in six files? I mean, without having to manually load part01.mp4 first, part02.mp4 second etc.
Something like an IFO/Index/whatever for MP4s, but in a way that can be read from the XBox?

Thanks!

The 360 can read from HFS+ drives just fine, which aren't restricted by 4GB filesize limits.

Wow, thanks!
Really curious, so no NTFS support but working HFS+ support... strange Microsoft ways, anyway thanks a lot!

the HFS+ support was designed to support apple iPods...
