Photo booth videos are saving as corrupted/blank files.

I made a video with photo booth and it did not have a thummbnail. I exported it and it was as a 5.9gb mov file. It will not play on any video player I have (VLP and Quicktime). I tested again with short 5 min videos and they work fine. Any way to fix the 5.9gb video file?

QuickTime Player can’t open movie - The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player. I recorded a video with my iPhone. I want to trim it with my MacBook. I opened it from Photos using QuickTime Player. After trimming it I tried to save (File-Save) it but received the message: QuickTime Player can’t open movie - The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player. The same for File-Export As. Any suggestion what could be wrong?
