I have a problem with the Forumuler Z7 + when recording programs. Although I use a USB stick with NTFS format, the Z7 + only records files up to 3.99 GB and then stops recording. I start the recording manually, press the recording button again and set the time. But the recording ends in NTFS format when 3.99 GB are full. How can I fix that?

Usb needs to be ext4 formatted to go bigger. Not sure if they can support it though.

Try formatting with the 'rufus' tool. Google it. Ntfs is what I use and I have no problems getting larger than 4gb files.

How are you determining that the recording ends after the 3.99GB mark?
From where are you seeing this information?

After the recording I put the USB-Stick in my Computer and Windows shows me the the recorded file has 3,99 GB. It is allway the same result with allways the same recorded time.

You can also see the size in an explorer file app on the formuler.

All recordings get chopped up into 3.99GB segments regardless of the filesystem of the USB.
What you are seeing in the file explorer is only the first segment of the recording. The remaining segments of the recording should be in the same folder with consecutively named file extensions.
In order to seamlessly playback the segments outside of MOL, use the m3u that is generated with the recording file, or combine the segmented recording files into one large file if you have the necessary know-how.

ext4 has 16tb file limit and android is linux based so it should work.
