Yup, Our TV supports exFAT but neither of our parents TV's do and I think our TV only got it because I updated its firmware lately.
If you want to gurantee it works you pretty much need to stick to FAT32. Sure, you can ask what TV and devices they have, if it supports exFAT then you can use that and have your longform edits in one big file but it would make much more sense to just have a workflow which assumes FAT32 and use that for everything.
We do also give them a copy of the ceremony and speeches in full which can vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours. In those cases we just adjust the bitrate. The 2 hour one had to go down to 5mbps from 15 but this isnt a big deal. As its just the ceremony and speeches there is little movement so the low bitrate doesnt become much of an issue. |
