Toshiba Satellite A500 PSAR9E Web Camera

I have a big problem with Toshiba web camera. 4 important videos that
I've recorded with my laptop have duration of 10hrs, but when I try to
play video, it's playing only 6min, or in other-it's playing 7hrs
instead of 10hrs??? How is that possible, please help! Other videos
that have duration for 13hrs are fine and when playing it everything is
OK, but I can't understand what happened with this 4 videos? My laptop
drivers are all up to date, Windows 7 original... Please help, it's very urgent and important
Is there any way to restore those videos somehow?

Hi, they are randomly bad.. :(

First one:

25.9.  start time 9:38am finish time 7:17pm (390MB) duration - 03hrs:03min:08 should be 10hrs

Second:

28.9. start 5:15pm finish 29.9. 6:39am (670MB) duration - 11hrs:29min:22 should be 13-14hrs

Third:

29.9. start 5:06pm finish 11:08pm (477MB) duration - 03hrs:49min:34 should be 6hrs

Fourth:

8.10. start 1.39pm finish 10:55pm (49MB) duration - 00hrs:06min:35 should be 10hrs

Updates for drivers are coming from Toshiba directly, sometimes from Windows Update, or I manually search Toshiba support page for drivers..depends.. And I have never had any problems.. I have a lot of free space on disk..  I just don't understand..

For bad files the size is equal with the time playing, not with duration showing in properties :( is there any possible way to fix this? :(

It is very strange, and I can't think of the reason why this happened.. Files weren't modified in any way, cause if they were, creation and modified date would change, correct?

I have other video files recorded (35 files) in the same way, and there's no problem with them.. Only with this 4 that are very important.. :(

Here is some details:

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium sp1

DirectX 10.1
Intel DualCore, i5
System Memory 6GB

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (1024 MB)
 

Ok thank you, I will try with conversion..

But this is built-in web camera, I'm not sure what's connection with USB port then..

Power settings are configured that laptop never goes to sleep or hibernates.. It's always plugged in, not on battery..

And one special touch to add for those bad videos, I can play them, but the funny things is - beginning is missing, not the end..so, instead of starting (for example this one: 8.10. start 1.39pm finish 10:55pm (49MB) duration - 00hrs:06min:35 should be 10hrs) at 1:39pm and finishing at 1:45pm, it begins playing at 10:49pm and ends 10:55pm??

So where is the start of this video? Just magically disappeared? I'm totally lost..

Thank you for your time..

Update.. I tried to convert, but no luck.. no beginning, only last 6mins.. This is really making me crazy :( Like twilight zone..

Still nothing..

me too.. :( this is something for x files..

I'm thinking at the moment NOT to make any vids in my life, ever

well this is some kind of "school" assignment..

Is it possible that those videos have been modified in any way (Is it possible to delete only the beginning of the video or to change some video settings during recording with toshiba web camera app or after recording it) by some other person, like my brother (accidentally) but if he had something with it, I think that creation and modified time of those videos would change from original

date to the date of modifying and creating, and it wouldn't be such a mess to see where's the problem? Because I just can't figure out what happened and it's reallyyyyy driving me crazy

but if it had been tampered with, then creation and mod time would change to new one, yes? and then this times would be equal to duration of 6 mins.. so I don't believe someone had been modifying it..

tnx anyway.. :) this is some really strange bug

time to f disk

now it's too late to do anything when those vids are gone..

I just have a hope that someday I'll get solution for this..

btw, nice cam , I would prefer that one instead this crap
