The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

I think you found something you could plug into the USB and play movies with on the 3808.

After a lot of frustrating work messing around with different codecs, I have overcome the 4GB, FAT32 limit via my PS3 by using a product called TVersity on my computer that streams to my PS3 wirelessly and freely reads NTFS drives for files as big as you need.
No good for a Mac though.
I realy only restate it as a warning to those who are considering using it and are not familiar with codec usage. It works flawlessly once you get it tweaked but it's not for those without patience and some PC video format experience.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

For the Mac, if you really need to use NTFS, you can use MacFUSE. I haven't used it for awhile, but it seems to work ok.

Macs read NTFS natively. You only need MacFUSE if you want to write to NTFS.
