Piotr - you may very well end up with "clips" that are larger than 4 GB when browsing in Clip Browser or after importing into your editing software or exporting as MXF. BUT as long as the files are native EX-files in a BPAV-folder the FILES should not exceed 4 GB. The metadata informs the system of which 4 GB files should be combined to play back your 20 GB Clip.

Ola,
This is an academic discussion; of course on FAT32 media (like the SxS), you cannot exceed the single file size limit.
I was talking about results of combining folders on your non-FAT32 HDD using ClipBrowser (same occurs when you just copy the same take's chunks into the same directory; of course using ClipBrowser, not your OS's tools).
If I mentioned it, is because to me it's important to have each take in a single (however big) file. Editing music videos, I need to cut/split the clips where the music requires it; also I'm usually edit in multi-camera mode. You can realize how many split/cut points I'm getting; to keep things tidy I prefer that there's no additional splits due to any files size limits...
But re: the original thread subject, you're of course right; as long as any single file size is within the FAT32 limits, there should be no probs exchanging them between the two platforms (and using the right tools).
