Whe i said thunnails I,meant that the thumnail does not have the image on it,but i see the quicktime MOV ,with the mov quicktime logo.
The genereric QT thumbnail icon is normal here since the files you sent me are only reference files—not standalone files. (I.e., reference files are very small files that tell a media player how to play data that remains contained in the original source file.)
regarding the way i transfered the files
-1-after plugging the iphone to my mac,i saw all the files in my mac ,copy them i paste and copy them in the mac hardrive-
Automatically the uppgrade erased everhing from my iphone ,so now i only have this files and pictures.
i am able to see the pictures only but like i mentioned before the videos they play without sound with a black screen.
i will send one of the clips to you.
thank you!
Here is the modal message I get when I try to open the file you sent and allow the media player to finish its search for the missing standalone source file:
Basically, it appears that you were using an app called "ProCamera 3.5.5" on you iPhone 4 to edit or modify you video files. This app created reference files that were linked to the original recodings made by your iPhone 4 camera app. If these original files are among the backup files you copied to your hard drive, then all you have to do is reconnect the "orphaned" standalone source files to these reference files or simply use and/or re-edit the original unedited source files. If you don't have these files, then you are out of luck here and will never be able to recover the original video data.
To give you some idea of what I am talking about, your 54.338 second 25 KB "IMG_5450.MOV" reference file points to a 1280x720 (16:9 aspect) H.264/AAC file recorded with a Baseline Profile Level 3.1 video track having a data rate of 10.7 Mbps and a mono audio track recorded at 64 Kbps with a sample rate of 44.1 KHz. These stats are quite normal for your iPhone 4 source file but would produce a standalone file on the order of 73 MBs in size or roughly 3,000 times larger than the reference file you sent me and clears up the mystery of how your files are essentially "empty" as noted previously by Deb.
Hope this helps.
