Lost video when using Photorec
I accidentally deleted an AVI video, so I used Photorec to get it back. The video was about 10 minutes long, and was around 950mb. When I recovered the file, it was still the size of 950mb, but when it was played it would only show the first 52 seconds. Please help

Re: Lost video when using Photorec
The original file was probably fragmented. Try various player like mplayer, vlc..., maybe one of them will be able to resynchronize with the video stream.
