Richard Boyd:
Hi Peter I tried to view the video on my childrens laptop and have got the same results as my home base PC ! So in looks like it is else the SD cards of it is the camera that is causing the problem.

hi Richard
Well ist quite strange, I still dont thing its your camera nor SD card. But, there ist always a BUT (damn computers :!: ) It would be much easier to get it working hands on...

...If You are using a file manager of any kind ( such as total comander) you could try change the name (the suffix xxx.TD ) see if the file got corrupted and the name of the file is THUMB.TD instead of .TDT (or .MO instead .MOV) it will show up in pc as unreadable and Quicktime wont know how to handle it.

...If you copied the file onto your hard drive it coul get corrupted!You migt have some registry issues... :?:
>>do you still have the instalation file for Sony Vegas?? If yes I would uninstall the program first, then get some registry optimiser (they are usualy freeware) - install and run - and than reinstall the Sony Vega Software. This might fix the issue...but it might not!!!... its only my sugestion. :?:
And one more thing that I can think of is the Quick Time codec - try to reinstall this...

But If your original file is corupted than you will have to get a special repair software..
 
See if any of this helps! fingers srossed!
If not Get a big hammer....that usualy solves everything :lol:

Richard Boyd:
Hi Peter the hammer is now looking very attractive !
I have reinstalled everything and still no success.
The original downloaded videos were.mov files !
Now this has changed !
I goggled the problem but again no success.
I have the kids over tomorrow for the weekend and if the sun keeps shinning then I might light the BBQ and burn the bloody camera and computor !
Thanks Peter for your help and advice.

shamanisko:
Richard,
what program are you using to get the video from the camera?
Or ur using just copy paste from the card?
If you have a card reader on your computer than use it...or just conect yourcamera and...
Try to go to My Computer -- find an icon presenting your  removable disc(or camera) and right click on it -- click Explore -- You should have  folders 3 (think so) DCIM, MISC, PRIVATE -- open DCIM folder, thats where your stuff is stored. go to view and change it to  thumbnails... find a video file (hoover the moyse over the thumbnail it will say Quick Time Video File) and click right on it-- click Copy -- go to home screen Desktop (minimize everything) on desktop right click and press Paste. See what format it copies the file. and try to play it in QUICK PLAYER! Not in WinMediaPlayer as you might not have a plug in for it.

Try this, we see what it does...
Peter

Richard Boyd:
Bing Bongo ! I have a video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I owe you big time Peter.
I have all the videos from the last few days deleted and made a new video and you have the problem solved.
I am back in action , thanks to you Peter.

I am a very happy man  :lol:

Richard
