recuva used for video files

I have used recuva to recover around 30 video files. I have NEVER been able to get ANY of them to work! Is there a way to fix this, or does recuva simply not work for video files?! Please respond with ANY suggestions.

Thank You

Ps. Works GREAT for pics!

any file can be still corrupted when recuva (or any recovery software) says it's in excellent condition. A video file is a very corruptible file as it contains audio & video parts as well as headers & what not.

second because video is a large file type it MUST be recovered to a separate device else it chances (greater than other files) overwriting itself.

Thanks, do you have any suggestions on what might be the best player to use when trying to play recovered files?
