thanks Craig.
I played with some sample from the net on your suggestion too. It works.
I am going to try with the actual recovered file some time next week.The hitch is that during the recovery process, the file has lost the name+extension ( as far as windows is concerned it does not recognize it as mp4. But from my experimentation with sample file renaming, i think the file type and the core information on the file is actually contained within the file itself and since the same file recorded works with Mac makes me believe the extension is just an artificial attribute that windows uses to the end user. So i will have to just rename the file as foo.mp4 and make the ClipBrowser on windows filter that. Any thoughts on that?
fingers crossed. _/\_
