Re: Moving a large .avi file - "file too large" message

Hi Jase,

Have you tried 'RoboCopy'? This is a command-line tool and the syntax you require is as follows. I am assuming that you are moving the file from drive C: to drive E:, but you can change these if you wish.

ROBOCOPY C:\<srcpath> E:\<dstpath> <filename> /MOV

<srcpath> path to source file.
<dstpath> (optional) path to destination. If omitted, destination is root of drive.
<filename> name of file in question, including extension.
/MOV switch to tell ROBOCOPY what to do when copying, in this case to delete the file from the source.

For further information on the syntax of ROBOCOPY, type 'ROBOCOPY /?' at a command prompt and press enter/return. To get the command prompt, click the start orb and type 'cmd' into the search box followed by enter/return.
