Hello
I Import QT files with my AlchemyDVR card. they are QT files comp. with sorensen3. they run about 2gb for 30 minutes of TV

the app quit before the end of a program, and I have a file (QT) that is 1.8 GB so its most of the show.

QT the app will not open it, says unknown file. FinalCutEx also won't import it, unknwm file.

iMovie says this: Can't be imported. QT coun't parse it. -2048

is there any other app out there that can rescue this file and make it readable with QT?

Id like to use this problem as a way to learn more about movie files, qt etc and rescue this also.

thanks rotut

In general, VLC or MPlayer will play the most corrupt files (or the most parts of a corrupt file), but I'm pretty sure that unfinished mov files are unrecoverable, and I'm not sure how well VLC/MPlayer support sorenson in the first place...So basically I'm of no help
