How to Copy Paste Movies to a USB Flash Disk to Play on TV

mrfdn – Departing from personal experience on how to copy and paste music, video and movie files from a laptop to a usb flash disk to be played on a smart tv, it turns out that it requires a separate trick.

Maybe you’ve copied a file to fd but when it’s played on TV or other media, it turns out that the file is unreadable. Even though if you check again the file can be played on your laptop / computer.

Well, for that there is a special trick to successfully copy and paste it.

If you experience this, here’s the trick I did.

1. Use an original and quality usb flash drive

There are several flash disks that are sold that are not of good quality.

Even though they are the same brand, some fd’s at first glance are difficult to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are fake. The difference is very pronounced when you do a copy and paste to the flash disk.

The original flash disk will have a faster data transfer than the fake one. Counterfeit flash disks have the potential to have higher corrupt data.

Which ultimately makes the data not copied perfectly.

Fake flash disks can be marked by a cheaper price, when compared to their size. For example, a usb flash disk with a size of 4 GB only has a cheap price of 30 to 40 thousand rupiah. When compared with the original Flash disk of the same size, the price can be 2 times.

But if you do not know your flash disk is genuine or fake, you can do several ways below.

2. Copy files without haste

Plug the flash disk into the usb slot, after reading it on your computer/laptop, copy your files one by one.

Don’t be in a hurry when copying and pasting. Let the file you copy is copied perfectly.

If necessary, do not do anything behind the scenes other than waiting for the copy paste process to finish.

3. After copying and pasting, don’t immediately unplug the USB

After your copy-paste process is complete, no more copy-paste windows appear on the screen, don’t immediately remove your flash disk.

If on your flash there is a light that glows when there is a process, then do not immediately remove the flash disk.

If you remove the flash disk while the light is still flashing, then the possibility of corrupt data will be even greater.

Corrupt data is a case where the copied file is not copied perfectly, which causes when the file is opened it cannot be opened or read.

For that, do eject the disk or unmount it before removing the flash disk.

This method will make the flash disk data to be closed from the background so it is safe to be revoked.

The final word

Thus the file that has been copied to your flash disk can be opened on a smart tv that has a flash disk plug.

If you have done all of the above methods correctly, but the files on your flash still can’t be opened or read, try to find out again whether your TV supports the files on the flash disk or not.

For example, if you copy a .mkv movie file, while your TV only supports .mp4 files, then the .mkv file cannot be opened.

But if the file still doesn’t open, then please use another better flash disk.

Your flash disk is corrupt.
