I have tried to move some videos to an folder, but nothing happened. So I closed the data transfer window and tried again. It looks like the files/folders are waiting in line and not transferring.

I have tried to cancel the transfers, but no change, also I have restarted my computer, but the problem still remains.

Here is a picture for better understanding

That's unusual, scratch head....which version of W8? RTM? – Moab Sep 26 '12 at 1:26
It's Windows 8 Customer preview. – Marko Sep 26 '12 at 1:27
What are you copying from? If an SD trying changing how it's connected (eg: different card reader, usb connection through camera itself). also are you able to play them directly from where they're stored? – jay Sep 26 '12 at 1:29
I have the video folders on Desktop, and want to move them to another folder on Desktop. I am able to play them. It only worked for some of them. – Marko Sep 26 '12 at 1:30
W8 CP is a release candidate and could have undocumented bugs – Moab Sep 26 '12 at 14:45

Somehow, the files are not waiting in line anymore. All the folders and files were today transfered without any problem.

I have no idea what that was, somekind of a bug in the Consumer Preview maybe.
