Thank you for your explanation, but I do not still understand the mechanism.

On exFAT or FAT32 SD cards used in digital cameras, deleted files can be undelete by TestDisk in many cases even after taking additional photos on the same card. Because taking several photos (~100 MB) cannot overwrite ...

I get many many XXX_ftyp.cr3 files, which are Canon RAW format files.

Recovering .mov files from an exFAT SDXC card of an Canon EOS R5 cannot be opened, because ftyp files are not created in my environment (macOS 12.2.1, PhotoRec 7.1).

What I get are only files like f3078144_mdat.mov, and I do not see XXX_ftyp.mov in the recovered directory.

Here is a copy of my ...

Would it really happen? There were ~1000 files in that directory, /DCIM/100CANON, but all the deleted files become invisible to TestDisk even by adding a single tiny file?

Hi,

I am trying to undelete some photo and movie files from a 128 GB SD card which is formatted with exFAT. I can recover a part of them by using PhotoRec, but due to filename loss in PhotoRec, I would like to try TestDisk as well.

When I list the photo and movie directory on the card, namely ...
