And I always seem to lose stuff in iTunes anyway. So I went for the iExplorer option first, and it worked.<br /><br />Android is a mystery to me.

I trust we will see the video clip on your build blog before long!<br /><br />JuliaM, it was the first time I had used the VoiveMemo app (apart from mucking about) and I was pretty impressed. I had it in a pocket and it picked up my voice and anyone within a few feet very well. In the meeting, some people - the people I wanted to record! - were perhaps 20 feet away and I will need to do something to boost the volume to get what they were saying, but the recording was clear enough.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-91827765150788838532012-01-27T10:32:15.990+00:002012-01-27T10:32:15.990+00:00Excellent tip, thanks!

Seriously. <br /><br />I picked up the Caterham last November and stuck the iPhone to the windscreen to video the very first journey, but the file never appeared. I've just installed iexplorer, and there it is. <br /><br />So not only have I retrieved a precious file I thought I'd lost, you've also solved the mystery of what was taking up that 3GB of missing space...patentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602962323262055007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-31889293213049432962012-01-27T00:02:33.725+00:002012-01-27T00:02:33.725+00:00In was sure that someone would come along soon who...In was sure that someone would come along soon who actually had a clue. Thanks. That's probably what I did. I was quite surprised how long it took to download the files to the PC via the iPhone cable - several minutes, so your explanation makes sense. Big files don't like to be rushed.<br /><br />Thanks for the explanation. And that clip is effin brilliant.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-90831754486322609452012-01-26T23:53:47.259+00:002012-01-26T23:53:47.259+00:00"There will be two files per recording, both ..."There will be two files per recording, both with the filename of the date and time, such as 20120116 184403. One will have the extension .m4a, and the other .mov. You need both of these, although I don't understand why"<br /><br />You don't need both files Richard.<br /><br />Your voice memos are originally recorded as quicktime .mov files, and then the app converts them to .m4a files afterwards. If the conversion process is interrupted, switching out to another app (iPhone 3G, no multitasking) or switching off will leave an incomplete .m4a file. A 2 hour .mov file would take some time to convert so I suspect that you closed down the app without first stopping the recording and giving it a couple of minutes to finish conversion?<br /><br />Whilst on the subject of mobile phones, this is what can be done with a laser, a PC and acouple of projectors.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=XVTga6GmbGw&vq=medium#t=74Rippernoreply@blogger.com
