ASIAIR 4GB size limit on iPad

I was trying to capture a 5 min video of Mars in order to do planetary stack on the video. However, ASIAIR Plus stopped the video after about 3.5 mins and specified an error message that my device (iPad) cannot accept more than 4GB size image. Is this error known to others and if yes, what's the solution? I use a 6th Gen iPad running iOS 16, and ASIAIR app v2.0.

AVI files are not saved on your mobile device but on the internal storage (or maybe USB storage). The message relates to a fille system issue - your storage has a 32 bit file system and files larger than 4 GB are not possible.
Now I am not sure exactly where the AVI are saved but if they are saved in the USB storage, you will need to reformat it with a 64 bit file system and then it will accept big size files. However, if the video is saved in the internal drive, you cannot do anything about that unfortunately.
