Odd question

I have a 2gb jump drive thats normally connected to the computer. I put a copied dvd into the drive (a backup, i own the original) and when it started playing (using windows media player) the activity light on the jump drive started flashing, for about 1 minute, until i unplugged it.

Anyone have any ideas why it would be flashing when the movie is playing?
 
The jumpdrive is contacting the MPAA and RIAA to report your activities. I would lay low for a couple weeks 🙂
 
thats the thing though, why would it access it. All i have on the jump drives are my backup Quicken files, some excel spread sheets, and .jpgs. Thats it.

I don't understand
 
Because it's an activity light. When you play the movie, it is is accessing the drive. Hence the activity.

I think he's saying that the movie is on a DVD, not on the USB drive. Anyway, I think it's because Windows Media Player may be set to automatically search for new media on all drives by default. I know it tries to access my MP3 player whenever I start it up. If you try playing other files with WMP, does the same thing happen?

I guess i made it unclear, the movie was on a DVD-r, and when i played it from the disc, the activity light in my jumpdrive started flashing. I was doing NOTHING with the jumpdrive. It was just plugged into a usb port, like it always is. When media player started, the jump drive activity light started flashing.

No videos are on the jump drive!
