I have three video files, movies, of about 36, 38 and 39 GB. I haven them on my PC ona HDD drive. They are mkv files 4k HDR blue ray etc etc. I have a USB stick of 256 BG, not sure what brand it’s a small silver USB with no brand name on it. When I transfer one movie over to the USB it works fine I can play it. However, when I transfer the second one it won’t play and anything after that it won’t play. Doesn’t matter the order whatever movie I first transfer it works and the rest won’t work. I have tried the USB on exFat and NTFS, it only has those two, the same issue happens. I have tried playing it with VLC, Windows Media, but nothing. I would sometimes get an error saying the file is corrupted or it’s a virus, but I scanned everything and no virus. If it’s getting corrupted I don’t know how and how to stop it.

The first video I transfer works but the rest won’t. When I eject the USB and plug it in again the movies that didn’t want to play are no longer there but the memory is still occupied. I tried the Error Check thing it finds some errors and says they are fixed but the files are not back and the memory is still occupied. When I transfer files again, it doesn’t reset or something it just adds more. The only way to resolve it is to format the USB. I have to idea why it’s happening and how to resolve it. I tired Goggle and only thing I can find is the error check, unhide the files etc. If anyone has any idea it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.
