Do you use "Safely Remove" or in Linux, do dismounts before

Yes, of course.

When a file has an unknown extension or even no extension, that
should not affect visibility.


It did in this case.


Erm, no. What you observed was file system corruption. You confirmed
that via chkdsk. Windows does not 'hide' files or refuse to access
folders which you think contain files unknown to it. That's just not
how it works.

had no problems on Windows 7. Only the one with .MTS files...
Happy with .MOV equivalents.


You had some sort of issue copying those files from your linux
machine over to that stick. To the point where Windows thought the
folder contents were corrupt. Btw, just because Windows has trouble
reading something doesn't mean that Linux will as well or that it'll
be as severe on a linux system. With that said, just because your
Linux machine thinks all is well with the world on the drive, doesn't
necessarily mean it is. Linux 'cheats' in some respects.
