[Eichhörnchen]

I store my camcorder videos on an auxiliary hard drive attached to my laptop. Until yesterday they always played fine using Media Player, which I have on the laptop... now they keep jamming up and stopping.

But... if I copy the video file onto an SD card and play from this instead, everything works fine as before - I tried this because I wanted to check whether the files had become corrupted or that Media Player or even the pc was faulty

Is the auxiliary drive maybe wearing out?
