If I understand you correctly, I *think* the easiest way to do this is do grab a normal video file, open it up in hexplorer, and just messup a bunch of bytes at the top of the file which would change the header.

transfer the file into a usb and cancel it halfway through, or send an email to urself and cancel the upload halfway through, the file should be there but corrupted

Wow... people are getting more and more creative with excuses nowadays...

You can try finding a file that's a similar size - then rename the extension to what you need (.ppt), etc.

assuming you have already asked for an extension from your instructor/prof?

Just E-mail it to him/her and pretend you forgot to add the attachments. :lol

I figured out how to do it.
you open the file with notepad and you delete random things off it and it wont open as I planned.
