GoPro MP4 not recognized, won't play

[leblanc1]

I took numerous GoPro MP4 video footage today but the last video isn't recognized by Quicktime, Win Media Player or VLC. When I took the memory card out of the camera, it appeared that maybe it wasn't seated all the way...possibly knocked loose when I crashed my bike. Regardless, the file has 671MB but when I open in VLC, it shows "00:00" for time. Additionally, there was a crashlog created by VLC that shows the following. If anybody has any suggestions on how to view the footage, I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you.

Hi, That sounds annoying, a 670MB file that you can't play.
Can you make a copy of it, then rename that file, any name will do, and that has been known to fool a video player into playing it back. Please only rename the copy.
Otherwise can you load the file into a video editor and save it out as a new file?
I have used Windows live movie maker and it worked well for me.

I've had this happen many times with my GoPro where huge MP4 files aren't readable. I've dumped so many files because of this. Tonight I used the "Import From Camera" option in iMovie '09 and it brought in two (2) 1-gig files that were otherwise unplayable with Quicktime or VLC, and weren't recognized with iMovie's regular "Import" option. Try it... it's a miracle!
