link mp4 files

I am new to these forums so forgive my newbeness. I use iTunes for all my media storage on a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion. I store all the iTunes media on an external hard drive formatted as FAT 32.

My question is I have split some movies that are larger than 4 gb and converted to mp4 so they can both play in iTunes and store on hard drive, is there any way I can keep the files separate but link them in someway that allows them to play the full movie as one on iTunes/apple tv.

Any help on this will be much appreciated

If I'm understanding your question correctly..... reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled which will allow storage of large files (over 4 GB) without any limitations. Unless you're sharing that drive with a PC there's no reason to use FAT-32. Also, FAT-32 is a non journaled file system. Non journaled file systems have difficulty recovering from errors.

Thanks mate but I forgot to mention that I have my hard drive formatted that way because I do use it on a pc aswell

I am basically wondering if there is a way I can link the files without merging them into 1 file, otherwise I may just need to buy another hard drive with a different format

Also a lot of people are saying to save the files on quicktime as a reference movie and you can play in iTunes but for whatever reason the reference movie won't work in iTunes.

it seems to work for a lot of other people but not me, and i have the latest versions of iTunes, quicktime and perian.

When I drag the reference file into iTunes it highlights the section and has the green plus sign but the file doesn't appear anywhere in iTunes.

If I could get this to work I can link the files in quicktime as a reference movie and it will play the full movie apparently.

Any ideas?????
