Are you accessing the videos from File Manager and trying to open from
there? If so, that is the problem (actualy a bug in File Manager). When
clicking on the video from file manager it should request to open in
media-player not import via the content-hub.

To work around you can use the gallery or video scope. Both should show the
contents of the SD card and allow you to play the video without it being
copied
