Transfering large files

Oh, man, I was hoping for a more simple solution. lol  The problem is this: I have 518 GB of movies on the hard drive already and I don’t have anything to back them up on. I’m hoping I don’t have to copy all my DVD’s again. There is a another question I have. After I got my bigger external hard drive I started copying my DVD’s directly onto it, but if the movie was bigger than 4GB, it broke it up into two files. So if I do do convert the drive to NTFS, will it quit breaking up the files?

It should. Apparently whatever program you were using to rip your DVDs was “smart” enough to break up the movie when copying to a FAT32 drive, so hopefully it knows not to when copying to an NTFS drive.
