so i want to put files bigger than 4gb on my 32gb sd card. a movie to watch on a long bus ride or whatever. ok so fat32 doesn't support files over 4g. but the galaxy s2 doesnt support ntfs. ok, so that leaves exFat? format SD card to exFat from in windows and it works fine. then when i disconnect my phone, and try to reconnect it, windows doesn't detect the sd card on the phone. this is impossibly fucking frustrating. any ideas?
The Galaxy wont support exFAT either.

Re-encode your films, see if you can get them below 4GB. For instance, the S2 has an 800*480 screen, so if they're full HD, shrink 'em.
re-encoding takes too long, i have a hugeass movie collection. oh and the galaxy does seem to support exfat.
