   ran VLC i.e. got the pretty Orange/White Traffic cone, selected 'Media',   
   "Open File", located my file on the USB drive, clicked on it ...... and   
   the Traffic cone stayed put!!   
      
   What might I be doing wrong??   
      
   Note the file that was copied from PVR drive to USB drive was called   
   '000' .... note no three character file type on the name!!
