Having used Windows and Macs for decades, I understand. There is a minefield of "gotchas" to navigate between the two platforms.
Haha, another reason to not use Apple...

The clue is that the file is in iMovie format. I don't use Macs either, but I've seen iMovie mentioned many times by Mac users here. I would wager that if the OP reformats the thumb drive exFAT, the problem will go away. It can handle large files and works on both Mac and Windows machines.
The "clue" for those who know the differences.....
I don't work with movies, "iTunes" runs on my PC, so why wouldn't an iMovie work on a PC?
Like I said, I have NO idea of ANY differences or incompatibilities between either system (other than a LOT of available windows applications),
and don't care.

I just made a 5 minute slide show with Aperture and exported it to my desktop. It is 4MB and it is in iMovie format.
but will not download to a 32 MB thumb drive because it says the file is too large, so I zipped it but it still won't download. Any suggestions?

Where do you find 32 MB thumb drives these days? That's TINY.

I've usually found the reverse to be true, but for some that may make sense. IT folks usually want one platform or the other. But in a mobile bring-your-own-device world, they may not always have the choice. When the CEO and sales folks use Macs and iPhones...
When I did database solutions development, my preference was to design and create the system on a Mac, and deploy on Windows. There were definite advantages and limitations to both systems, but since I was driving another application — Windows only — with mine, I had to deploy on Windows.

Thanks--it works!
This illustrates the importance of using "Quote reply". Without it, we don't know whom your reply was directed to, and thus we have no idea what worked.

Good. How did you resolve the issue?
Yes. What did you do? More than one suggestion was made.

I have very, very few pix that are 4MB or less. A five minute slide show would involve quite a few files. I'm guessing several gigabytes. Others on here will probably give you more precise explanations. Probably best to recheck your numbers.

Many years ago I was at a convention in Miami where a PowerPoint presentation was taking a very long time to open. The IT guy at the hotel and the presenter were getting a bit anxious after going through a couple of bootstraps (insanity is doing the same over and expecting different results?) I told them to hold on, let's see what is going on with the file and computer. This was back in 2006 so the computer may have been even older (hotel computer I think). Opening task manager, I saw PowerPoint was loading in the file chunk by chunk. Looking at the file size with Explorer, I saw the file was around 500 MB which may not be huge today but then it was the problem. I learned a lesson that day to compress all the pictures when I build a PowerPoint presentation with pictures, both for sending via email and also speeding up the loading into memory.
