Thanks for the follow up.
Here is what I am seeking to understand.
My only alternative seems to be to tune the parameters to get the file size under 4GB of FAT 32, but the camera doesn't have that problem. Which suggests the Camera isn't using a FAT format
Consider...the camera is recording (AVCHD.mp4 or whatever) to a SD card which has its own card format of FAT32. And, it that property of the SD card that is at issue, that is, the 4 GB limit of the FAT32 format.
Your camera probably can record to an internal hard drive as well as this SD card that is formatted FAT32. I am not sure what format the camera's internal hard drive might have. Correct so far? Are you able to get the camera to record a single file to that SD card that has a file size greater than 4 GB? I think not. But, best I ask because I think it becomes a critical part of the understanding on this.
By the nature of FAT32, your camera should not be able to record a single file to that SD card that is greater than 4 GB. It should be
able to record many single files up to 4 GB until it reaches the 32 GB capacity of the card.
Please review and consider. If you find a file with a file size greater than 4 GB on that SD card formatted FAT32, that becomes a critical piece of
troubleshooting information.
Thanks.
