PS3 4.4gb file stuck

[JAMCAS50]

Hi,

I have 4.4 gb mpg fiel on my ps3 hdd and i need to copy it back to my PC HDD via my USB HDD which has ample space, however the copy process stops when i get to around 92% (which i think would correspond to 4GB)

Are there any work arounds i can use to get the file given the 4gb fat32 issue ?

1. When backing up the PS to a USB hdd ,what format is the back up stored in.

2. If i got a USB to sata hdd adapter could i hook the ps3 drive to my PC and just copy the .mpg file to my pc ? or does the ps3 encrypt its contents?

3. copying to an 8gb usb stick ?

any advice appreciated.

ps you may be asking how i got a large file onthe ps3, i think i burnt it to dvd and then copied from dvd to ps3 hdd.
