  Unix Executable Files

  Posted by Elam Forrester on September 1, 2015 at 11:11 am

  Hi there,

  When taking video files off my SD card, from my Sony HDR-CX240E camera. The files open as Unix Executable Files. I was wondering if there was a way to convert these files back into the video files?

  This is how the files appear:

  Kind Regards,

  I can’t see your screen shot because the link no longer works. You should post screen shots using the COW so that they don’t get lost. Like this:

  

  The files don’t need to be converted as they are still video files. OS X is just confused as to what they are so it is wrongly guessing that they are executable. Without seeing the screen shot it’s hard to be more specific s to what to do next.
