I have formatted every stick I have at every possible setting, Fat32 and NTFS, then copied avi's to them at each setting... most suddenly get unrecognisable as avi files, but still remain the same size in bytes.

Did the same on the the 3 other PCs here (running Vista) and got the same result.

But, as before, all other file formats are unnaffected. I even tried coding as XVid, DivX, MP4... all have high rates of corruption.

That's it, I'm totally baffled now!!
