Movie shot on Elph 300 won't play on SX700

[Moovies]

I have a short video I made on my Power Shot Elph 300 HS & am using the same memory card in my Power Shot SX700 HS.  When I try to watch the video, the screen  says "Cannot play back MOV"   The Elph camera fell into water and doesn't work anymore.  I would really like to save this movie on my computer.   Is there a way?

Hello Moovies, 

Generally speaking, there's no guarantee that one camera will read the memory card from another.  This is true when referring to both stills and video.  I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you at this time.  You may wish to use a USB card reader to transfer the files directly off the memory card to your computer.

If you have the card, get a card reader and transfer the file over to the PC.
