Previous 4k Video fiiles being recovered all as Corrupted JPEGs

#1 Post by marcz2007 »

Hi all,

I am trying to recover 2 tb worth of high quality video recordings.

Photorec seems to be only recovering JPEG files (lots and lots of them) with 60 hours remaining and counting...

Anyone know why this is happening? Are the files too big to be recovered? Anyone had any success recovering 4k videos before?

Many thanks!

Marcus

Photorec only knows file formats. "high quality video recordings" is not a file format. I don't know what that should mean - very poor description!

Hi thanks for replying. They are all .mov files - does photorec not cooperate with that file type? If not, does this mean there would be no way or recovering them?
