Default Windows 7 problem with folder of .MTS files

Sounds like a permissions issue


No, it seems to be simply that W7 will have nothing to do with
.MTS files, to the
extent that it ignores folders that contain nothing but them.


Windows doesn't do that. I don't know of any OS off the top of my
head that ignores a folder/directory because it contains files
unknown to it.

In one of my checks on W7 with the .MTS folder, it offered to 'fix
it', and after checking
the result I found that it had simply changed all the "*.MTS" to
"*.CHK" and renamed the
folder "FOUND.000"!


That isn't Windows complaining about not knowing what to do with MTS
files, it's complaining about file system issues. It thinks the file
contents on the stick are corrupted. Did you tell your Linux machine
you were done with the stick prior to removing it? Or, did you just
pull it when you thought you copied the last file?

To confirm this, I converted one of the .MTS files to .MOV, put
that in a new folder on
the flash drive, and plugged that into W7.
Result: It found that folder and agreed the file was there, then
played
it back
normally...


That isn't confirming what you think it is. Probably just as well to
convert the files to a more known container, but, aside from that;
you didn't confirm windows itself has a problem with the original
files. What you confirmed was that Windows had a problem with the
file system present on the usb stick.
