s1clone dumps the ENTIRE contents of the NAND flash, so your dump will be as big as the size of the flash chip in the player.

Make sure you have the newest version of s1clone, which compresses the file smaller (do s1clone after deleting all the files on the player to get a smaller dump)

thanasisgr , S1clone has not been fully tested yet, and only a handful of users reported success, whilst others does not.

Is your player working properly? If it is, i'll suggest not doing anything to the firmware, as any wrong updates and your player would be bricked.
