moving movies via usb

[AC Question]

computer movies moved easily to a usb drive and will play on the tablet from the drive.

movies from the drive moved to the external sd card in the tablet... but will not play on any one of three different players.

these are mp4, flv, avi... all playable on the installed players.

what's up?

Welcome to Android Central! What filesystem is the microSD formatted in, FAT32? How big are the movie files? The maximum filesize on FAT32 is 4 GB, so if the movies are larger than 4 GB, it might be causing problems when you try to copy them to the microSD card.
