Quicktime conversion corruption

[teadle777]

Hi, can't understand most of the forum posts so apologies if this has been answered somewhere!
I recorded some video clips on my minolta digital camera and saved them on my pc with the photo files - they played back with no problems.
Late last year my husband set up the software for his ipod on the pc and it's converted all of the video files to quicktime. The videos now just show up as strips of jagged images and won't run. I'd be really grateful if anyone can
explain what's happened and how we can convert them back.
Thanks

Do you play the files in quicktime? And it doesn't work?
Try also play with VLC Media Player and see if it works.

The files were originally in another format and have been reverted to Quicktime which won't run them. Not sure what the original format was but photos from the camera are in jpeg.
