.THM problem

[Quartzkyte]

Hi all,

As a pro I often have to install software on customers machines (individuals, not companies).

One of my first choices is OOo 2 (+ VLC & XnView) but earlier this month I had to use the older version (1.15) on a slow computer.

Now I got a call from the gentleman, stating that the .THM extension was overtaken by OOo for the configuration files.
He cannot anymore previsualize or view his MOVXXXX.THM movies with the said extension.

I Googled this extension, but no clue on how to rebuild Windows original viewing - as neither he nor I know what the original file was.

Would anyone here be able to give me a lead?

Thank you.

I assume that these MOVXXX.THM files are videos made from a digital camera?

THM is quite a commonly used file extension. To name a few....

• Microsoft Clipart Gallery Database
• OpenOffice.org Configuration File
• Thumbnail Image
• Video Thumbnail
• Sony Ericsson Theme File
• Canon G3 Digital Camera Thumbnail

To re-associate the extension, you really need to know what application was associated. It could be any of a couple dozen bits of software. I would try to find out what device he used to make the videos. Chances are there is some proprietary software that came with it (eg a Sony camera, and thus some Sony video editing software), and that software is what he wants to have associated with the THM files.
