VLC and Media Players Cannot Play Video Files On My Pen Drive

Post by Edward »

Today, I faced a strange problem. I copied personal video files from my friend's laptop into a USB pen drive. The problem is with playing those video files on my computer. None of them are playable on my PC.

Both VLC and Windows Media Player failed to play them. Is there any problem with playing video files directly from a pen drive?

Why I Can’t Play Videos Saved to Pen Drive

Post by Alex George »

I believe VLC and Windows media players do not support the video file format. What is the Video file extension?

Both Media players do not have problems playing video files directly from a pen drive.

I think while transfer, the video files got corrupted. Delete them from the PC and copy them from Pen drive and save on PC again.
