Running Time

All of my video's that I prep for burning are being broken down in to a running time of 18 min. 48 sec. So when I go to burn the video on DVD I have to attach each one, and if I want to watch the Video I have to click each button. Why can't I transfer the video complete and have the video run on one button alone?

You should consider converting your disk to NTFS rather than FAT, so you won't be limited by the maximum file size that FAT has (that's most likely why you're ending up with 18 minutes - that's about 4GB of data).

I saw that my external hard drive needs to be changed to NTFS. How do I change it? I can't find a way to do it.

Well, I hope it's nearly empty, or you can move the files.... I think you need to re-format it as NTFS. I'm 85% sure that's what you need to do. I remember an option in the past that allowed you to convert file systems, but I'm pretty sure that was for FAT16 -> FAT32 conversions (when upgrading from Windows 95 to 98). Even if you found a way thouh, I reccomend a format, as when I converted file systems, it took an obcene ammount of time. Formating's not too bad though.

Internet search engines are great! I just typed into google the search string: convert fat to ntfs
and got the following article from Microsoft:
