Q: .mov and .avi files are not playing and seems to have been converted to .jpg!!! HELP!!

My older (circa 2005-2011) home movies (taken on my digital camera, camcorder, and older gen iPhone) won't play. They are still .MOV files but the time has been changed to 0.00 and consequently they look like still photographs. At first was saving into iPhoto, then to Photos but also Time Machine backups too.  NONE WILL WORK!! I've tried VLC, QuickTime 7, Image Capture, iDealshare VideoGo, etc... Anyone have any idea what could have happened? and what I could do about it, if anything?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
