Does the pendrive have a lock button? If it does try that first but 9 times out of 10 it's the pen drive itself thats broken from my personal experience, especially with that kind of issues. If the pen drive also don't work in another machine, it's probably more then likely one of those 9 times.

I believe @BryanB pointed on the right direction. Everytime I file damaged USB's or USB's filled with malware, the only way I find to repair it is doing a low level format with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool.

I tried to format pendrive, but its unable to format.

This specific information is great as it clearly says one can't access the pen drive with the built-in format tool and because of that I have my doubts it's possible with any other tool.

The drive is probably damaged and you need a new one.

There are multiple reasons for this to happen:

• The player where you trying to play video, doesn't support the video format.
• You have RAM issues.
• The pendrive is damaged (they have a limited number of writes).

Try with another pendrive to pinpoint the issue, I suggest doing MD5 scans of the files you copy to the pendrive to make sure they were copied perfectly.

Most of the cases where I seen this happen was always caused by damaged RAM sticks, the only cases where I seen a pendrive actual fail were cheap pendrives from unknown brands.

Back when USB 3.0 was released pendrive failure was more common though, as they tend to overheat (was fixed on USB 3.1).

More likely your USB drive is dying or filesystem is corrupt (which can be fixed using chkdsk /f /x)
