Large MOV files not palying after it was recovered

Recuva
1

I was over the moon when i found the app. But something is not working right. I can't seem to play the files

I have formatted my gopro sdcards( in the camra) before i copied the videos. I then took the SD card did a deep scan with Recuva. it fond all the files with a green dot. The recovered quickly. But none of the files larger than 10mb can play.

I made sure not to recover/copy anything to the SD card.

The files size looks right and there is data in the file but it does not play. Anything I can do to get the files?

After posting i realized that the files are MP4 files not MOV.

Hi HannesZ.

If the files aren't playing all I can suggest is to make sure that they are carrying the correct file extension. Even though they may have recovered with a green dot, it's also possible parts of the files may be missing. Also try a few different media programs as some have more success than others at playing incomplete files.

If the card has had a lot of use without being completely emptied and "clean formatted" occasionally, then it's likely the files were fragmented on the card and not all fragments were restored or even restored in the correct order.

You could of course try another free recovery program which may have some success where Recuva didn't, but you may find the same result.

Have a look at this, which is freeware ...

We don't usually recommend competing software, but when recovery can mean getting back personal and irreplaceable data, then the end result is as important as the means used to achieve it.

Hope that helps and good luck.
