Are my extracted files recoverable?

#1 Post by mortan »

Hello everyone

I extracted files from the hdd from my humax pvr to my computer using Photorec.
What I've wound up with is 74gB of large .swf files which must be the media, along with .flv, .mts, .mp3, .frm, .ab and .txt.
I have had no luck in trying to get auto clicker any media players to do anything with them.
Any suggestions, or is it game over?

It looks like random files. Maybe Humax uses encryption...
