Default Data Recovery

Hi,

The movie file format is quite complicated. Recovery is also problematic because the files are usually quite large and can get fragmented.

It may be possible to get better results - i.e. video with sound - but I think it would need an expert to take a look at exactly what has happened on the drive.

If you want to keep trying, the best option I could give you would be to take an image (an exact copy) of the camera drive. You would write the image to a file on your computer. The image is compressed, but you would need at least 30gb of free space to make sure you had enough room.

Once you take the image, the contents of the drive have been preserved in the image file. You can then continue to use the camera, try other options yourself, or burn the image to DVD and send it to us to look at.

I guess it all depends on how much you value the sound to the video?
