OK. Help?

Posted by Tina

I need some tech-help, and this is related to Tango, sort of.

A few weeks ago a friend used my cellular phone to video-record me dancing with my friend Gregory. NORMALLY, I’m able to send those things straight from my phone to my online cellular account, but apparently the video file is too large to do that.

I’m so pleased with how this video looks that I went and got a BlueTooth adapter for my laptop, so I could move the file over to my computer that way. It seems to have worked, but now I can’t open the file!
The file name ends in “.md”, and after I had the computer search for software for that, it turned out that I need a certain software called Mayura Draw, which of course I got right away, but that doesn’t even work.

So here’s what I want.

1. To be able to watch the video on my computer.

2. To be able to NOT have it be “.md” but rather a suitable movie file (for media player or quicktime or something) so that it can be uploaded to youtube.

Whoever has the winning answer, gets to see the video!

Well I don’t have a lot of experience with cellphones videos, but I work quite regularly with ordinary videos. I don’t know what is the format that your file has, but one thing I’sure: is not a Mayura Draw Vector Drawing File. Without further info, I will recommend you download this program: avidemux. Is a program that can handle a lot of video codecs. Try to open the video and see if avidemux can handle it. Is the answer is yes I will explain what you have to do.
Besos!

Ok, that’s weird,you should be able to see it in avidemux. One question: What is size of the file?

I’m not on my laptop so I can’t see now, but it’s pretty small - not even a minute long… I will look later and tell you. Or maybe I’ll try everything all over again. AAAA!!!
