Odd video copying issue

[skopi]

I have a Galaxy. Android version 4.1.1.

I have taken mp4 videos on my phone.
I plug phone into laptop using USB cord.
I browse down to DCIM/Camera folder. Only JPEGs show up.
I have tried on both Windows 7 and XP machines. I verified in folder options (Windows Explorer) that I am not hiding operating system files and always showing extension, etc.

I go on phone into My Files and go to that same folder and clearly see the mp4 files along with the Jpgs.

Because I tried on separate PCs, I assume this is a setting on the phone? Why would they hide certain files?

Help?

The videos might be in /DCIM/100MEDIA/...

Unfortunately, there is no such directory when I view file structure from windows explorer across the USB or when looking in My Files on the phone.

Any other ideas? I have searched for a setting on the phone but nothing seems to apply.

You might try to search your phone's storage for "mp4" with a file manager like ES File Explorer.

BTW, I use ES to connect via WiFi to my PC and my network drive, they are shares on my home network.

More useful since with Jelly Bean phones and tablets lost their ability to connect as USB mass storage to the PC.
This issue might be also a reason because you won't properly see your phone's storage on PC.

Has either computer got a setting/protection for DRM? Some programs make no distinction about whose MP4 it is. They assume all are pirated.
