I have a number of older videos (7 or 8 years) that won't open except to show a single frame....in QuickTime 7. However the Get Info indicates more content, if size is an indicator. For example 900KB, 1.2 MB et cetera.

I downloaded an app called VLC and it looked hopeful, but nada. With VLC the movies seem to want to open. There's a lot of "vibrating" of the single image which lasts 10 seconds.

They are .MOV files.

Any thoughts?
