  • corrupt QT movie files

    Posted by Anna Thora steinthorsdottir on August 16, 2010 at 12:37 pm

    Hey all,
    One of my hard drives crashed. I have my footage stored on a Back up drive but some of the files seem to be corrupt. They do not open in FCP, QT nor Compressor.
    Error message says: The file is not a movie file. They all have .mov ending. I also tried changing the file names.
    Can anyone suggest ways to recover them?

    You could also have a bash with Jon Chappell’s Final Cut Maintenance Pack (or more specifically the QT Repair tool):
