Problem with a .mov file

[PeterB]

Hi everyone,

I was recording a video using the AlchemyTV DVR app in live record mode, and when I clicked on the record button again to stop recording, the app crashed out. However, I did find that it had recorded a large file on the drive-- 1.9GB file which shows up as a Quicktime movie file. When I try to open the file, it says it's not a movie file. Any fix for this, or is the file hosed?

the file is kinda hosed - no end, but I think VLC can deal with it

[PeterB]

Hmmm... I tried VLC to play it, but no go...

[hal]

sorry - that's all I got - well... what about that other player... I forget what it's called.

MPlayer?

[PeterB]

Yep, I think the file must be hosed... MPlayer won't play it either...

Run it through MPEG Streamclip and select Fix Timecode Breaks,
sometimes that works.
