Ross box using a Win98 operating system, say it isn't so !

I still sometimes use a machine running Win98 on a 4 GB drive, which was
more than enough storage space at one time. I think it's primarily a
FAT32 thing rather than Win98 as such, and was introduced with Win95.


Yes that was it, the FAT32 limitation.

Indeed. All Windows XP (and above) systems can support (but do not always use)
NTFS, which removes this limitation. However, most removable USB drives are
still formatted to FAT32 for compatibility, so the 2GB filesize limit remains.
Many USB-enabled (linux-based or otherwise) do not support NTFS, so you're stuck
with .ts files split into 2GB chunks I'm afraid.
