Hey, thanks!
Actually, the "HD300 Storage" folder contains videos also. So I was wondering which one between the two folders contains the original (best quality) videos. In the "HD300 Storage" folder videos are saved as "MOV" files, whilst in "Video Cache" they are "MP4" files.
I would prefer not to save both folders because they are both over 50GB and I don't want duplicate files that I don't need... ;)
It appears that the hg300 storage has duplicates of the videoCache videos. They are both h.264 movies. The hg300 videos are wrapped in a QuickTime container. I'm going to assume that on the phone, this is a QuickTime wrapper that "links" to the original MP4 file in the videoCache, so there is no duplicate media on the phone. Probably needed for compatibility with the phone. This is pure speculation on my part. Once you copy them off the phone, they become duplicate files.
You will need to copy the videoCache if you want the original videos, and the hg300 storage for the still photos. deleting the duplicate videos. That said, the MOVs should be the exact same video as the MP4s... so, it doesn't really matter which one you keep.
What a ridiculous and convoluted process! |
