Note 4 microSD Card Some Videos Don’t Play

Problem: Hi, have bought a class 10 128gb micro sd card. When I transfer videos from my phone to the sd card, only some videos are properly transferred. Others are not able to be played properly after that. I tried reformatting the card, however my macbook pro is now unable to read the card. What can I do?

Solution: If the microSD card was formatted using the FAT32 file system then files exceeding 4GB in size will not be able to be copied to it. This means that if you have a video file that has a 5GB file size then it won’t transfer to the microSD card.

Regarding the video files that can’t be played it this can be caused by a data transfer problem or it could be because the video player app of your phone does not have the proper CODEC to play the file. Try using a different video player in playing the video file (MX Player or VLC are popular choices). If the video file can’t be played then try to delete it and copy it again.

On the issue of the microSD card not read by your computer try to format the card using your phone instead.
