external hard drives

[discman]

i have a 250gb external hard drive plugged in to (fast)usb 2.my question is could i rip movies directly to it?and burn directly from it at 4x would the external drive keepup with it at 4x?..if you follow me..

[NightTran]

yes you can rip to it and even burn up to 8x if it is format to ntsc

[discman]

ntsc?how would i know that?ps it says file system ntfs.

[NightTran]

if your iso is one then you have ntsc if they are a whole bunch of little one then you have fat

[discman]

dont get you?at present i have no movie files stored on it.

[NightTran]

ntfs sorry for my english

[discman]

@discy,, fat 32 is an older file system that does not support files larger than 4 gig. you are ok with ntfs.
