Windows explorer crash when trying to copy .mkv file - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, when i try to copy/paste 720p .mkv file to my external card in my phone via USB cable, windows explorer just crashes...all the other types of files are fine to copy paste...i have windows ultimate 7 64bit and my ext card is Samsung 32GB class 10...
At the moment the only way i can copy mkv files to my phone is using samsung Kies,but first i have to add the file to the library then transfer it to extCard and you can not transfer multiple files,i have to manually tick single mkv file,wait for it to transfer then do the same for the next mkv file...this way is rather slow then the simple copy/paste...
The weird thing is that i have this older samsung phone Star S5230 and when i try to copy/paste the same mkv files to the extCard on that phone via USB cable, it moves just fine, no explorer crash at all...i tried the USB debugging mode on the s3mini,didnt help,windows explorer just crashes...
I don't understand why i can copy mkv files via Kies and i can not do that with simple copy/paste onto the extCard...i also use the BS player since the stock video player plays mkv files smoothly but theres no audi(no audio AC3 and DTS support)...

Try AirDroid.

I always have trouble with windows 8 and file transfer... I quit doing it the "normal way".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO <--- this is the way I do it now. Much better! Cost a dollar or something.. but well worth it. Kies and such is just fuc*ing wrong. All my files are transferred with this app.

Just rename it to .bin and it will copy fine, then rename it back to mkv once the copy finishes - it's something to do with the mkv format (possibly the thumbnail generation).

Help Please!!! m4a Files (m4r Iphone ringtones)

Before I did my last ROM Flashing, i'm sure that WindowsMedia was playing my m4a files (with out any convertion), but now it won't. My files was m4r (Iphone ringtones) but i Changed the files extension to m4a. I used these files like a Ringtones in my Xperia.
But now i can't playit any more. If I choose (in resco explorer) open an m4a file with Windows Media, launchs Windows Media but an error appear: Cannot play the files. If I choose open an m4a file with sndplay.exe opens sndplay and the errors windows appear: There is not enought memory to play the recording (of course, it's enough memory)
Please Help me!!!!!

[Q] Can't transfer .wmv files using USB - different file system?

Hello. I am now running Darkys ROM 8.1. Its the first time since upgrading I've tried transferring anything via USB. I notice that in windows I can't create a new folder on the ext sd card, nor access the existing folders, in fact they appear in windows (xp) with no icon or file assocation. Is it the file system used in the darkys rom that windows cannot recognise? .flv and .mpg files will transfer but when I try any other formats windows explorer says it may not be copied, may not exist or may be in use by another program.
Is this a setting in darkys I need to change? Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help please
I found the answer thanks. Posting this for those who might have the same problem. I installed the Kies V2 on my win7 64bit laptop, and the file system on the phone can be seen now and file transfers can be done ok now.
It is either issues with Kies 1.5 or problems with my other pc after a hardware install.

Added MP3 files by the windows phone app was recognized by "Music + Videos" app.
Is there any way/application to add MP3 file by linux?

Thanks for reply.
I tried gmtp by package.
I can copy media to phone. It recognized by phone.
But the file on gmtp is not shown in gmtp window.
Next I tried mtp-tools package, mtpfs and qlix.
But there didn't works well.
(Maybe all of this uses libmtp.)
Finally I found rhythmbox supports mtp.
This looks works now.
I'll use this.
Thanks,

Convert or Copy

When copying video from PC to S2, I am always aeked "Do you want to convert files? There is also Copy option with the added "It will copy but you may not be able to play the file".
I've had no trouble with VLC but I'm wondering if Convert will give a better image, sound etc.
Thanks,
Shofar
