Error when transfering large file to external hdd
I use my bootcamp Windows 7 on my Macbook to transfer files from the Mac partition onto my NTFS Seagate freeagent external HD.

I transferred a 7.2GB 1080p movie from my mac partition onto my NTFS external hard drive via Windows 7 boot camp and when I try playing the video, it only shows like 55 mins of it and it is a 2 hour movie.

Also when I click properties on the freeagent, it shows it as a 6.8GB file not 7.2GB.

what is going on?

Also, I tried a game iso ( Which I have the original and made a image file") and transferred from Mac to NTFS freeagent via Windows 7 bootcamp, and when I tried mounting the image via Slysoft virtual clone drive, it says that theres a error and tells me to get a 32 bit or 64 bit version of the game... That is not the problem as I've made a image of the same game directly on my windows partition and it mounts fine... the problem occurs when I'm transfering large files (around 4gb and more) from my mac partition to my NTFS freeagent via Windows 7 bootcamp.

I don't believe that this is a problem with my external hard drive because I use it on my actual windows 7 pc and it works fine for any size file.
