Uploaded video from iPhone to computer and now it won't play?

If I try to play it through quicktime I get this "error-2048: couldnt open the file 022. MOV because it is not a file that quicktime understands." I have tried to play it through everything! Nothing will work! I deleted it from my phone once I uploaded it and it was very important! There's another video that is only two seconds long and it shows as a normal video in the album on my computer. This video shows up as different symbols depending on what I switch it to open with. I'm begging for help!

Try opening it on VLC Player. VLC supports a lot of file types.

  • Why does the video quality look bad when uploaded to the computer? [iPhone 4]? When I upload my video to youtube in HD directly from the iphone, I go on the computer to watch it on youtube and the quality is perfectly normal. But when I copy the file from my iphone and onto my computer the video looks grainy? I wan't to put it into after effects and do some editing but how can I go about KEEPING the quality of the video? I don't get why it gets all grainy when I put it onto my computer vs. It being perfect when I upload it directly from my ipod to youtube?
  • When you charge your iphone on a different computer does anything get uploaded to it? I went to my friends house and decided to charge my iphone on his computer via USB cable. He doesn't have itunes installed on it, I just used it to charge my phone, and then took it off. Can any of my information be uploaded to his computer by doing this? Just curious, thank you.
  • Video from iPhone won't play on computer All the videos I've taken of my kids (3 and 1) are not playing on my computer. They are garbled and pixelated. I've already deleted them off my phone to make room for more, though, and I'm afraid they are gone for good! Please please please help me figure out what's wrong…
  • Uploaded videos on youtube with music won't play on iphone? So I make ski edits and I use songs in them. I give credit to the artist in my edit and the description below, but for some reason they get copyrighted. I click acknowledge the copyright and usually they are fine but recently none of my recent uploads are working on mobile phones.
