Ok, sorry - While exporting several events in Iphoto 11 to an external hard drive that had jpeg and .mov files i went to file/export/--on the kind i didn't change from Jpeg to original - so my photos are good on the hard drive , but on the .mov files they show to play and have the correct minutes , but are black and do not show any of the movie. I have deleted some files in iphoto already, when i try to import them back into iphoto it says unsupported file format. ---on the .MOV files that are "black" on the hard drive and deleted from my iphoto, are they gone forever?
