Greetings,
I recovered several files including 3 that I think are the ones I need based on their size. They were all Quick Time video clips, Apple Prores 422 and over 100 gigs each. But what I recovered is unable to play. Any idea why?
As Photorec spits out recovered files, are they supposed to be complete? I stopped the process after 24 hours while it was still in pass 1.
Recovered video files not playable (Apple Pro Res 422 files) Topic is solved

If the original files were fragmented, the recovered files may be corrupted. There are various avi/mov/... file repair programs available on internet, usually it's possible to try them before paying them.

Even though none of the needed files on my working disk were recoverable, I was able to recover the raw footage from 2 ssd disks!!! Thats really all i needed. I am one happy camper!
