Search For Photobooth Video Files On How To Open It

I also tried to open it with various programs I have, iMovie, Quicktime, HandBrake, iTunes, no luck As to what EZ Jim said, yes Photo Booth is a basic, fun app.

It has always worked fine for me, I open Photo Booth and switch to Record a movie clip, then I press record and when I am done I press stop.

The clip gets saved on the bottom and i can click it whenever, to review or watch my recorded clip with no problem.

Now heres my issue, the other day was recording a very important clip on photo booth the same way as I would always do, it was about 15-20minutes long, the only thing is that when I finished recording it, I forgot to press stop.

I closed the window by pressing the x on the top left corner instead.

Once I did that and had realized I had done that, I went back, open Photo Booth again to see if the clip had gotten saved and it didnt.

So then I went directly to the folder where all the movie clips get saved from Photo Booth and I found the file I had recorded there.

I know this is the file I recorded because they get saved as Movie on 2011-09-05 at 18.58 which shows the date and time.

All the other files or movie clips that Ive done are in that folder, they show a preview image of the content I recorded for that clip, and the name.

Now this last file does not show an image, it just shows the Quicktime icon with MOVIE in the bottom and the name of the file.

So now when I clip to open that file it does not open, it brings up a small warning window saying: The document Movie on 2011-09-05 at 18.58 could not be opened.

The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.

So my problem is, how can I open that file to see the video clip Ive tried many different ways to try to open it, with iMovie, Photo Booth, iTunes, QuickTime Player, etc and none work.

Doesn anyone know how I view that clip Also, when I click Get Info it shows that following info: General: Kind: QuickTime movie Size: 203.4 MB on disk (203,414,621 bytes)....

Name Extension: Movie on 2011-09-05 at 18.58.mov....

If anyone can help thanks.

When it has happened Ive generally tried the try everything approach first by trying to open it with various Applications, including mpegstreamclip, VLC, Handbrake, iVI Pro and Quicktime 7, but the likelihood is its corrupt, although this has worked occasionally.

As Ive never had any important video become damaged like this, when the try everthing approach hasnt worked Ive trashed the files Ive had damaged.

I do have a fairly large amount of video related applications available to me.

As the video IS important, they may want to look on the Internet for video repair software, but as to which I cant help as Ive never had the need to look for any.

It seems to have more limited capability and reliability than iMovie.

Therefore, I use Photo Booth only for fun video clips that are not of major importance.

Yes I already tried opening the file with iMovie, Quicktime Player, HandBrake, Photo Booth, and iTunes but no luck.

I am just trying to see if anyone else like me and jvaldez has had the same problem and has found a way to still be able to play the clip with a program or something.

Or if anyone can help, you can make a clip like ours and see if you can figure it out how to open it.

Just go to photo booth and make a video clip but dont stop the clip, just close the window and u will get a file like the one we got.
