    I have a 10 bit blackmagic MOV file here, on a PC HDD, that was copied across from a MAC drive.
    These can be freely copied, but the person whoi copied it has cocked it up & I cannot open it at all.
    QT Pro tells me it's not a valid video file, and no conversion/encoder tool will open it at all.

    How can I recover this - this is seriously urgent.

    If it is corrupted then there may be little you can do unless you can get in a reconstruct the corrupted parts using a hex editor. Your best bet is to go back to the source and get a new copy.

    That is the conclusion we had (reluctantly) come to.
    The Mac has completely corrupted the copy somehow.

    not to start a new topic, I'll post my problem here.

    I had .mov clips on my hard drive, plugged the drive into Mac. At first everything was ok, but then at some random point some of .mov files just stopped playbacking. They do not open in quicktime, Final Cut or VLC. Didn't change anything, even info of both corrupted and "good" clips is the same. I googled some file repairing software, came across one called "Treasured" and it actually started to repair the file (I could see the image) but it asked to download teh full version and pay some crazy amounts of money to repair it.. I would probably even do that, 'cause the clips are important, but I read reviews and, well, people do not recommend to use that software.

    Any ideas what might have happened and what could be done ?
    Thank you.
