Nope, no go opening in QTPro, anyway I can see.
I will try to see if writing to the mini-dvd in SD format will allow

That should work, using any of the MPEG rippers out there (MPEG
StreamClip or MacTheRipper are my choices). Quality is dependent on the
camera's encoding, I guess. Again, don't know, but, maybe even an HD
solution this way?
