How to Repair Video Files Corrupt After Copy to USB?

I'm having trouble moving MP4 videos from a USB hard drive to another hard drive. The videos work when they are played from my USB hard drive, where they were downloaded, but when I try to move them to my PC or another USB hard drive, they corrupt and won't play. Lately, whenever I download an MP4 from the internet to the USB drive, it also corrupts. This has only happened recently, as I've never had trouble before. Please can you help? Thanks
