Kathy,

I re-read your original post, and if I understand more clearly, you 
have copies of the same .mov files on multiple drives and can't copy 
them between the drives?

Or is it a case of similar sized (but different content) ripped mov. 
files on your internal and external drives, and none can be copied from 
drive to drive?

What's the source/sources of the DVD's you're ripping?  Commercially 
produced (Hollywood) DVDs?

Have you tried creating from your own resources (say in FCP or iMovie a 
.mov file larger than 4GB and tried copying that from drive to drive?

That might give you (and us) a clue as to whether there's a content 
related hitch, instead of a size related hitch.  Perhaps there's some 
copy protection in the DVD's you're ripping.

Ted.
