He... maybe they are separated video files and sound files. Question here
is how to "join" them again.
But let me ask you something, what was the workflow for the videos? Were
the cameras (input devices) directly connected to/processed by Casablanca
or your friend just copied the video files to the external device and
then wanted to import them into Casablanca?
In brief, what device generated the raw files, the cameras or Casablanca?

If the files were directly processed by Casablanca I wonder why your
friend cannot open the files from Bogart's software provided by the
manufacturer :-?

How bad... if I were your friend I would ask for the source code of that
system, Bogart, just to annoy them a bit >>:-)
There is a forum, you can also try there:
