Error in video files copied from FAT32 external drive to Mac OS

[zaja]

Hi,
I had lots of video files in an old FAT32 drive and I copied to a new one formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order to reformat the old one.

Because of the limited file size in FAT32, all the big video files I had created directly onto the old drive, where converted in 3 files (two with the extension -av1 or 2 and the third one with the extension mov (but dependant from the other ones).
Now, on the new drive, although these files still extist (with the same old size), I can't open them.

As well, they were created in pc and now I'm working in a g5.

Can someone help me to open/recover my files?

thanks a lot!

Well, i looked around for some software to do that for you, and i cant seem to find one. Also, how did you run them on the old PC? What software did you use etc.

sounds like a codec issue more than partition type if the files are under 4gigabyte you shouldn't have an issue as and avi is an avi and a mov is a mov whichever drive they come from,google for codecs.
