Playing video files

Hi

I got an Xperia z phone and I have video files that i want to store and watch on the phone.  The video files are MP4 (fully compatible) and when i put them on the phones internal memory they play perfectly. But when the storage space is low and it prompts me to move my photos and videos to the Micro SD card i have, the videos fail to play at all but the photos are still viewable.

Is there a trick im missing when i put the videos on my SD card can the phone play videos from it? Does the speed of the Micro SD card make a difference?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated
