Why can't I copy a file to memory stick

Why can't I copy a MP4 file to my memory stick? I keep being told theres no room ... but there is room.

The memory stick has a capacity for 16 GB. But the Get Info command tells me 1.3 GB are being used. But Ive erased the memory stick and dont understand how there could be any files still on it ... unless "erase" doesnt erase them all and some "invisible files" are still there somehow.


Ive formated it using the MSDOS Fat 32 format.


When I try to copy a 5 GB MP4 file I get a message that says:

"the item cant be copied because it is too large for the memory stick's format."


Im at my wits end. There should be plenty of room opn the stick ... but apparently theres not. Is this something to do with partitioning?


Many thanks ...

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
