I have a 1TB Mybook hooked up to my WD TV. I had been using handbrake, and the MKV files were always under 4 GB. But now using MakeMKV (lostless quality) the files are over 4 GB. But when i try to copy them to my Mybook, it gives my an error code 0. So i bought a new one to mess around with reformatting it, but everytime i try to reformat it gives my an error saying it cant. ( Have tried Mac OS Extended, & Journaled, Mac OS Case sensitive, & journaled, only Fat32 works ) So how do i reformat this properly to take MKV files over 4 GB and still work on my WD TV?

Thanks!
 
Try highlighting the device (not the indented partition) in the left-hand sidebar of Disk Utility.

Then, click on the "Partiton" pane. Select "1 partition" for the volume scheme, set the format to "Mac OS Extended" (non-journaled for the WD TV!), then click "Options..." and select "GUID Partition Table."

Click "Apply" and the drive will format to a format that will be compatible with your Mac, your WDTV, and files over 4GB in size.

Be aware that this process will destroy all data on the drive, effectively wiping the slate clean.
 
Btw, the 4 GB file restriction is the limit of FAT32 single file sizes. WD HHD are always formated as FAT32, factory fresh.
