usb flash drive

I have a 16gb usb flash drive and i am trying to put videos on it . I can only put one out of 30 on it that will play. They usually say no video. what is going on and what can i do to make them work. Not real computer lit so need imfo. in common or simple terms.

 

Hi,

How are you trying to play the videos--on your computer or on some other device? Which program is telling you "no video"?

Which format are the videos (flv, avi, wmv)?

Lastly what Operating System are you using?

 

the operating system is xp. the movies play alright on the computer with divx or windows media player. I transfer over to flash drive and check still on the same computer and thats when it tells me no video. On divx or windows media player.check original and still plays. They are all avi.

 

That should be no problem at all playing on your computer.

Try right-clicking the original and selecting Properties then note the size.
Then do the same with the copy on the USB flash drive and compare the sizes. Are they the same?

When you double-click the movie on the flash drive does the player (either WMP or Divx) open and try to play the movie? What is the exact error you get?

 

same size. It says this file does not appear to contain a video track.

 

How is the USB formatted fat32? How large are the files?

 

the files are 50 mb to 900 mb. usb is fat32.

 

Well I had a kind of similar problem but with a 8 GB card from my BlackBerry; got a few movies from work and almost all of them played well with WMP and/or Power DVD but just one of them I try all that I read here, but had no option and downloaded VLC, the movie played well with that... In your case, did you try another application for that?:-o
