[Q] videos to ext sd

Is it possible to copy videos stored on n10 to an external SD card?
1) Hook both the the N10 and the SD card up to your computer and copy.
2) Use Stickmount and an OTG cable to copy them.
Thanks, but, looking for a direct solution without use of a computer.

Then use Stickmount with an OTG cable. Plug an SD Card reader into the OTG cable and put your SD Card in it.

I actually have an issue with the SD card - i'm not able to write to it. It is mounted through stickmount and is shown in any explorer ( but not in the storage though) however I can't write to it (nor it is showing the content). I can 'read' the content using Nexus media Importer, but that's pretty much it
Any suggestions?
(i have rooted nexus 10)
Use FAT32 as filesystem. If you intend to store large videos (>4GB), you will have to split them into multiple linked files (using MKVtoolnix for example).
Is FAT32 the recommended way to go with sdcards as a general rule, or just in the OP's case?

fat32 is the read and write format for otg and ntfs is read only. So ya I would recommend fat32.

Is it NTFS formatted? Apparently the stock ROM/kernel doesn't support NTFS. Try Ext4, FAT or exFAT.
it doesn't meets the power requirement , i have a seagate backup plus 1 tb external and its usb3.0 and doesn't works on usb otg , get an external powered usb port and then try connecting it, would definitely work.

[Q] USB OTG Maximum size of USB Card ?

Hi, I seem to have USB OTG working to access an SD Card through my N7 (2012), but it only works with my 1GB card and not my 32GB card. Both are FAT32. Anyone know if there's a maximum size? Or have any pointers and getting this working? With the 32GB, StickMount says "usb storage is blank or has unsupported filesystem".
Running Kernel M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168787) and CyanogenMod 11.0 by koko98 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509905)
Cheers
My first suggestion would be to test the 32 GB card in another device such as a laptop. If it fails to be recognized or requires formatting, that would be the issue. Another possible solution would be to format the card to NTFS as it appears Kernel M supports that file system.
Maybe the first thing to try, however stupid it may sound, is to reboot you Nexus if you haven't already. My own device can be finicky with some of my USB sticks and is often times fixed with a simple reboot for whatever reason. Hopefully one of these suggestions helps you with your problem.
Could the recovery version/type have anything to do with it??
I've been using a USB otg from meenova with a 16gb card, works fine with twrp 2.6.3.1 and 2.7.0.0.
