What do you mean it doesn't play? Do you get an error message? What are the movie file formats?

@Ambucias.My movies are mp4 format. No i dont get any error; the vlc just opens and does not proceed to play the video. If i try another media player(potplayer), gives a notification that says "Video does not exists".

I suspect that your MP4 is corrupted. Can you play any other videos?

All the videos i copy to the flash disk play on my laptop well. The problem comes in when copied to the disk. Sometimes the disk even deletes them itself; if i plug it off the next time i try to use it, some folders are empty. I think the formats and player media does not matter much because this happens to all video format i put in it. Is there a way to fix such a disk?

The flash disk and computer can be infected by a worm virus

Launch it, a shortcut will be created on your desktop.

Choose "Clean" option.
A pop-up will follow Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, sd cards external drives, etc...)
Once you're ready, click "OK".
While cleaning, you will lose access to your desktop, but this is normal.
