Right,

So I bought a 32GB pen drive, to transfer movies on.

So I've downloaded a 5GB movie that transferred on to my 1TB fine,

Accept, when I transfer it to my pen drive its saying the 5GB file is too large though it let me easily transfer a 4GB file.

Anything that can be done about this?

Change the format of the drive to NTFS

FAT32 only allows 4gb and under iirc.

Wont let me change it to NTFS on my Mac,

I changed it to MS-DOT(Fat) but then the files wouldn't read on my television.

Enable NTFS then, pretty sure they've had the ability to do so for a few years, alternatively use third party software (Paragon/Tuxera)

Have you tried exFat? I don't think Macs can write to NTFS unless it's via a third party application.

Tried exFATS but my television doesn't read that as well.
