Hi Nancy

Thanks for your help

The MP4 files are viewable in their entirety in dropbox in a chrome browser...and no errors there

Its the transfer from dropbox to my (relatively) empty external hardrive that has been formatted and has no errors on it

Thanks in advance

I am having the exact same problem.  I have tried downloading with different browsers and watching the mp4 file in multiple video applications.  I have downloaded my file numerous times and while it will play in its entirety in dropbox, I get errors in a different location every time I download.  Did you ever get this to work?
