All USB drives are formatted as FAT32 to maintain maximum backwards compatibility. The first thing I have to do if I'm using one as a backup drive is format it to NTFS so that I don't run into the same problem Ron is running into. 12gb files are kind of big, no? Check the link I put in the other reply if you're not sure about the limitations of FAT32 partitions.

Just so you know, Ron is very comfortable with video. I can't quite figure out how he can get work done with the amount of videotaping he does. Must be all the good help he has!
