It's probably formatted as FAT32, if so you won't be able to copy over a file bigger than 4GBs. The playstation will only pick up hard drives formatted as FAT32.

FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB

unless PS3 reads NTFS or other format ?

Converting the vob files to xvid format should solve the problem!
