Photorec files _wide.mov, _ftyp.mov won't play, HELP Please!

#1 Post by fdesou01 »

Hi,

I recovered some files with names like, "f0283413_wide.mov", "f0237461_ftyp.mov", and "f0177749.dv" but it won't open on quick time 7, newer version of that, nor VLC...

VLC says:

"VLC can't recognize the input's format
The format of 'file:///Users/fabio/recup_dir.1/f0283413_wide.mov' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details."

is there a way to view this file? there are other like it ranging form 3.2MB to 2.15GB in size so I know there's something there right? But it won't play anywhere. the .dv files recovered were only two. One is less than a second and it plays and the other is a black screen.

Please, please help me recover some precious memories of my baby niece!!

What kind of camera have you used ?
Ar you trying to recover video from your harddisk or a memory card ?

I am hoping to recover videos from 3 different events. For one I used a Cannon power shot. The other two were semipro level video cameras but it has been too long. But for those two I am trying to recover two different Final Cut Pro finished videos. The folder that Photorec recovered is about 12GB in size so there must be something there. It recovered 190 files but the great majority are about 2KB big.

It was from an external hard disk.
