[Avid-L2] File Size limit on Fat32 4GB - one byte?

 

Okay I've known about the 4 gig limit for various exports in Avid and with fat 32 the size limit is 4 GB minus 1 byte.  I'm experiencing this limit with a usb jump drive with 16 GB capacity trying to copy a 7.3GB QT movie.  If I reformat EXFat it will copy.  Okay I get this but it seems like everyone always says format cross platform media drives etc.... to Fat-32 to bounce between Macs and PCs.  What happens in Avid with a media drive formatted Fat 32 and a media file in excess of 4 GB?  What if I do a video mixdown to a Fat 32 of an hour show?  I'm usually running Mac OS extended volumes on my Mac systems but it would seem over the years I would have hit a 4 GB road block at some point on Avid, other the the omf/aff limitations that can now be bypassed.  Not having a problem but I can't believe I've never  been burned by this with external drives.
