    Right, I've taken the SD card out (properly, unmounted and all that) and it says....

    Kingston
    32GB
    Micro SD HC and there's a little 4 in a circle next to it.

    SDc4 means class 4, which is enough for the sgs.

    I've tried my old SD from my nokia and it plays the videos from there no problem. I'll transfer them to my current SD to see what happens, I'll post back.

    Next Step is to isolate where the fault lays. Testing device and card with other cards and devices.

    Right this is doing my head in!!!! I've transfered 5 video files, all .mp4, 2 of them work but the other 3 don't. When I try to open the other 3 it just says cannot open sd card and the file I'm trying to open.

    When I first transfered them none of them would play until I took the SD card out and put it back in. Do you think I need to wait longer before I unplug the USB lead??? I am waiting until it says that it's finished scanning media files.

    How are you putting files to the external SD? I'm using mass storage, am I better to use Kies, now that I've finally got it to install!!!

    Of You have some files working and some not, it could be likely that your sd card has some bad sectors. Run a diagnostics on the card to check integrity.

    Nah, it's cool. You need to connect to a pc and use disk management tools provided by windows. This will let you know if there are any errors.

    What size are the files that dont work and are they larger than the ones that do?
    Are they in a differrent format?
    Do they all play on your PC?
