    First, if you are going to be doing any video work, you need a LARGE hard drive, and it has to be formatted NTFS. Yours must be formatted FAT 32 which is why you got the error you mentioned. It only allows a maximum file size of 4 MB, and if you extract that .iso file, it more than likely exceed that limit.
