The app I recorded with was photo booth, I’m not exactly sure what format means but below the recording it says .mov. I tried opening it with the other free options, Apple TV, quick player and it either said error or that it couldn’t be opened. Thanks for trying 2 help!

Going forward, I'm not sure Photobooth is the app I'd suggest for recording "hours" of video.

.mov is the Quicktime format. So, if it doesn't open in QuickTime player, it might be corrupted.

Try VLC. It's kind of the Swiss Army knife of media players.

What app did you record this video with? What is the file format? Have you tried opening it with a different app than PhotoBooth?
