HELP ! SD card is doing my skull in - this is a strange one !
Trouble with sd card in tablet so decided to check it out in my Win 7 computer.
I have 4 new sd cards 32gb and 64gb. I have 2 new SD card readers - USB 3
I have 9 mp4 video files on my hard drive and all play perfectly with WMP
ok here is the problem:
When I copy these files to my SD cards (any of them), the first 3 files will play from the the sd cards but the other files are unusabe though present. The info pane at the foot of windows exporer shows no "data rate" etc details on the files that will not play
INFO:
I have tried formatting the sd cards FAT32 and EXFAT and NTFS.... I can play the three good files from any of these file systems
The three good files are the first 3 to be copied. If I copy A -B-C first then they are good and the other are not
IF I copy C_D_E first, then these are good but the others are not
File sizes are all under 4gb individually but about 4GB for 3 files
I am aware of the 4GB limit for FAT32 so I used the other formats too
Question :
Is there some kind of limit under win 7 pro 32bit, that will not allow more than 4gig of movie files on a SD card ? The cards have been in my android (aagh) but I used diskpart to clean them and re-write the MBR and single partition
The android can play the same files that win 7 can play, so if I can get win7 to read and play videos from the sd, I am confident the tablet will play them.
I was surprised, that when I format NTFS, the tablet can read the sd card and play the 3 movies ! .. But it can
Help ! I have spend 4 days trying all these various options and now I am well and truly stuck. 4 new sd cards various types, 2 new usb3 card readers, a great win7 system and a new tablet...
