Specifying the file size to recover
After quite a bit of effort, I have tried numerous strategies for recovering the movie files and the biggest problems appears that the software can not reliably find the file end. In particular, after searching for lost .mpg files, "Recover-My-Files" returned 15 files that were all 145 GB, which is non-sense, as this is the actual size of the partition. I then tried to limit the maximum file size (I know none of the files was larger than 380 MB) but this ended up setting all the recovered files to 380 MB in size.
I have used a free low level viewer, "DiskExplorer for NTFS" and with some care I can determine the start and end of quite a number of the lost files. Is there a means I can get "Recover-My-Files" to find the start of the file and for me to specify the end or in my case the actual size, as I know this to the exact byte as the OS has stored this correctly?
