I am trying to copy several 2 gig video files to a 32 gig flash drive. Once I get 4 on there, the 5th and all others forward becomes unrecognizable and wont play. The other 4 are fine. I have tried several flash drives and several different files. I have tried NTFS and FAT32 formats.
 
Hey there, dcshaker.

Was there ever a case where some of the files which were able to play before, couldn't be played when you've tried them with a different combination of videos? If the files are always the same, perhaps they are corrupted, or if you're trying them with a TV, maybe there's an issue with it and I'd recommend that you contact the manufacturer's customer support and ask for further assistance. However, if you're trying them with a computer, I'd recommend that you try them with a different computer as well, to see if the same thing happens. Also try to write some vids with the other computer to see if they can be played properly.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

Files run fine when I only put 4 on the flash, even when I change up the order or use another flash. It doesnt appear to be an issue with the file, just when I copy it to the flash. I take a file copy it first, it runs fine, copy it 5th it won't. If I then copy it back to my computer, it doesnt work either so it appears to be corrupted when its the 5th file. I have also used 7 different 32 gig flash drives. Have not tried a different computer since all my vids are on my one laptop. (They are converted videos from my old camcorder).
