[nfbcs] How can I take my picture and video files out of my iPhone?

[Oso Calmo]

Hi listers,

One year ago, I bought an iPhone and I have taken lots of pictures and 
recorded some videos since then.  I have about 60GB of data (jpg files, mov 
files, etc).  I would like to copy all those files to a Blue-lay disk, using 
my Windows computer (XP sp3 or Vista sp2) and Jaws Ver 11.
To do so, I wont to copy the files to an external hard disk as JPG files, 
MOV files, etc, so that I can see them and use them directly with my pc.

1. I connected my iPhone to the pc thru the USB port, made a backup and 
checked for the target folder, but I only found lots of files without 
extension.

2. Then I looked into the iPhone with Computer from my pc (Windows Vista) 
and I found lots of JPG and MOV files in about 10 folders in "Local 
storage".  However, when I tried to copy them all to the external hard disk 
thru my pc, using Computer, the process stopped and an error was displayed 
saying that a handle couldn't be found.
I tried to do the same (use this second method) with XP, but no subfolders 
or files were displayed (I might have to wait for them to appear).

3. Then, I thought to use iTunes to copy the files, but I don't know how to 
do so.  I can't synchronize all files to my computer, because I have only 
5GB of free space in the C drive, where the User folder is (iTunes will copy 
the files there, I understand).  There will be no space for all the files.

I don't think that JPG and MOV files are copied with the first method and, 
even if they are copied, it's useless, because I get files that I can't load 
with my Windows pc.

The second method seems to be the most appropriate, but will all my data be 
copied (all pictures and videos)?
I don't wont to lose data because of using an irregular method.

Is there any way to synchronize all the files from my iPhone to my pc (third 
method), using the external hard disk directly?

Is there any other way to do this?

I called Apple, but the directions they gave me didn't help.

Thanks in advance.
