recover mp4 from ext3, 2 files for each video

#1 Post by hschoene »

Hi,
I try to recover deleted mp4-files from a ext3-Partition. After this I have 2 files of each video(about 20 videos and 40 files), a mp4 and a mov File. All mp4 have a size about 200kb and I can read it with gspot with correct header-datas. I think, its the video-header and some video-content. The mov files are bigger, 50mb and more. I think, its the content of the video. I try many things, merge 2 files to one with cat..., but no success. I can't play the videos, with or without merge with VLC.

I know, my cam produce only mp4-files. How can I repair this files ? (My VideoCam: Panasonic HX-DC10)

Thanks Heiko

Can you send an unmodified video file ? I wonder why each file is splitted.

Hi, sorry for this late reply. I try to upload here a 10 second file,which is about 20MB.
Oops, I cannot upload mp4-files, because this extension is not allowed.
Please download the file from:

I have tested latest PhotoRec 6.14-WIP with this file, it's not splitted, it recovers a single mp4. I don't know why you have this problem...
