Canon A70 3 minute video hack problem

Hi:
Will you be kind enough and explain to me in DETAIL how to hack the Canon A70. I Have no knowledge of a hex editor.
Found a 3 minute hack somewhere on the web. And below is the results of the hack:
When I go to play the avi file in the camera, it says "unidentified image." And obviously will not play.
The file will play in that mode on the computer.
How can I get the 640x480 to play in the camera?
Can it be re-hacked?
Any help appreciated. TIA -N-

According to the author of the hack, the movie length problem you mentioned is a know issue. Excerpt from "Hacking the Canon Powershots":

"I have personally tested only the A70 version of this mod. Videos under 30 seconds seem to be unaffected as far as I can tell. The camera's own playback mode refuses to open any 640x480 video that is over 30 seconds and just shows the thumbnail and the text "Unidentified image". The video files will work just fine when transferred to the computer; it's just the camera's playback mode that refuses to recognize overly long files. I'm trying to remove that limitation also."
