Update on DeskCycle Ellipse usage: 2.In today's digital landscape, videos reign supreme.Word: Use the keyboard to add a word to the dictionary.Note: You could also use VLC, but it takes much longer as VLC doesn’t split the file so much as record a defined sector of it, in real time: To create another clip, click A again then repeat steps 6 to 9. When finished, you can either create another clip (as you would if you’re splitting a large file), or close the file.The recording will start and take a few minutes.

Go to File > Save, then navigate to where you want to save your new clip.The new clip is bounded by a blue box in the slider area.

What I needed to do was split the video files into smaller chunks, each less than 2Gb in size. I did some Google searches and found that it could be the format of the hard drive - so I tried reformatting a spare hard drive as exFAT, FAT32, and NTFS, as recommended in various forums. No matter the format of the files (MP4, MKV, AVI etc.) they won’t even show on the TV as existing, if they’re over ~2GB (I’m not sure what the magic number is but it’s a tad more than 2GB but substantially less than 3GB). However, I think my TV has problems with large files (anything much over 2GB). Occasionally, we watch videos from an external hard drive. My Samsung TV is from 2010, so it isn’t a ‘smart’ TV. This blog post is for me, in case I forget how to do these steps! If it helps you, well and good, but it’s part of my brain dump for myself as it’s is only something I’ve done once before and had to relearn it for the second time I needed to use it.
