I'm having trouble moving some long videos (either .mkv or .mp4 formats) that I've downloaded from streams or recorded with OBS onto my 128GB memory stick. There's definitely enough space available on the stick. I've formatted it in various ways, thinking that might be the issue, but I still can't seem to get those videos transferred. I also checked my internal drive for errors, and it came back clean. Is there anything else I can try?

It sounds like the issue isn't with the USB drive itself but with the source files. The file could be corrupt or the source drive might be failing.
Can you share how you're trying to transfer the files? What's the exact error message?
First, try copying the videos to another internal drive instead of the USB to see if the problem lies with the USB drive or the files themselves.
I can't do that either; I'm getting the same error. Even when I rendered the video in a program, I still couldn't move it.
I'm just dragging and dropping the video files to the USB drive, and all I get is "cannot read from the disk or source file." No error numbers, just that message.
