    I cant seem to put any films i have on my acer one to usb without them not playing.
    when on laptop, they show as windows media player or vlc media player icons and play fine. As soon as i drag them onto my usb, icon changes to AVI icon and they will no longer play. This doesnt happen with my other acer aspire 5315 and ive only come across the problem with my acer one.
    thing is i would really like them off my laptop and on to my sons as he nicks my laptop every night now to watch a film. lol.
    Any ideas would be great,
    thanks

    can you right click and select open-with and open with VLC player? if that works, you can select choose program and make the change permanent.

    Most likely a codec problem of some-sort. You could try installing the k-lite codec pack.

    He says it is with his USB drive so the problem must lie there. If the videos play fine when ran from the computer, they should run fine from the drive. Try backing up your files on the USB and then formatting it to get rid of any problems. You should, of course, scan before backing up.
