Increase file size it's limits?
 

Is it possible at all to remove or increase the file size it's limit? I've got a few blu-ray quality movies, which are 4 GB plus, and would like to watch those on my N900.

emmc? Could you be more specific, I'm not quite familiar.

I think you should not use it in this case. But in general:
Internal memory (eMMC) is 27GB has Fat32. If you will change it on ext3 or ext2 you will not have size limit. But this memory will be unavailable from windows machine.
Exist several ways to do it. Some of them simple some of them not....

I personally just reformat /home/user/MyDocs to ext3 and modified ke-recv package

I found this on Wikipedia. Doesn't makes much sense when ext3 is 2 GB and the blu-ray quality movies 4 GB plus.

Instead of formatting your filesystems to copy files onto it, that have a format that is too big for the N900 screen try to re-encode the files for the N900. There are lots of re-encoding tools available for all plattforms.
I like tablet-encode on Debian Linux best. Choose yours wisely :p .

You miss it
MyDocs is 27Gb

and here one more good advice

This all goes above my imagination at the moment! I don't wanna brick my device again. :(

I'll have a look at the tablet-encode later, it doesn't seems to complicated.

If your video is 4GB plus, chances are it can't be played anyways. Most re-encoded movies I've done get down to 1-2GB
