Large Video (63mb) Won't Copy From Camera To PC?

Question

I took a video of my boyfriend's band on my camera (12mp Canon Powershot G9) and I tried copying it over to My Pictures with no success. The file is there with a name but when I click properties it says "0 Bytes". I copied some other videos I took the same day (MUCH small 11.3mb) and they copied over fine.

Any idea why I can't copy over the video? I have at least 80gb space free on my HD.

Is there any way to get around this problem??

Thank you!

Answer 1

Transfer file from camera to Windows Explorer then open it in Windows Media Player should work.

Answer 2

Go to My Computer and plug your camera or card reader in (turn camera on) a new drive will appear double click the drive and a folder will appear double click that and your video file will be there, click and drag it onto the desktop and your computer will copy it over (with a file that size it will take a while), when its done double click the file and it should open with whatever program you have associated with that file type, probably Media Player.
