Ive searched high and low for a solution to this one. Every google hit on this search finds no resolution. Does the Apple community know how to get around this problem?
I used my 32GB iPhone 3Gs to shoot a video which turned out to be 48 minutes long, and approximately 1.2GB in file size. It plays OK on the iPhone itself.
However, when attempting to transfer or copy the large video file from the iPhone to PC, it FAILS. The photos and small-under-7gb-videos copy to PC just fine. The PC shows its copying the file for a few minutes, however when done, the file copied to PC wont open, and shows a file size of zero. In some attempts, an error 80004005 shows.
Seriously, why use the iPhone to shoot a long video, if it cant be transferred to your PC? Any help on this matter is much appreciated.

If a 3rd party Apps is required for such a basic operation, does it means that there is an inherent design/hardware flaw with the Apple iPhone?

If the phone was not designed to transfer such large video files, then it is not a flaw its just the way it was designed.

The iPhone is expected to be able to transfer files via the USB cable. Since Apple never specify a max file limit, then it should expected to be able to do so w/o a size limit, based on general understandings, as it is a basic operation.
If the product is designed to be not able to transfer large files, then Apple should explicitly state so in the specifications. Else, failure to do so should be considered a product flaw.
