Can the mpg file be played without problem ?
If it's the case, can you send me a small .ts file recorded by the same video setup ?

I have updated the wiki. This screen isn't displayed by default since PhotoRec 6.13.

thanks for reply

no, last night I realized that file mpg are not shown well .is as if they lost frames of audio and video.

Then I relaunched photorec without ts extension .. only mkv,mpg and mov; it doesn't create thousand of 65k file ,but it has created some very very large mpg (150 GB , 40 GB,17GB etc...) .i've tested one file that seem to have right dimension and seems it is watchable ; I have't had time to try the huge files.

another report and preamble:
I had to retrieve the files because I switched from the qnap signle drive to raid 5. when the process is finished a shared folder (only one) did not contain more data .

yesterday i launched recover as many types of files in addition to other video files on raid 5 partition ,and it has recover many file with the problem of many 65k file and occupying 300/400 gb on usb disk.
last night ,for test, i have relaunched recovery only on first disk of the raid (the original drive that contains data) and it come another time with the 65k problem (mov,mpg,mkv an ts extension) ;since I stopped the recover after 2 hours i don't know how much space would occupy at the end of the process .
After that I repeated the process again on the first disk of the raid (only with mkv, mpg, mov, as reported at the beginning of the replay) and I had to stop (below 50%) this morning because he was entirely occupied by the external drive 500gb .

sorry if I have not mentioned before the reasons for the recovery.
I'm trying to do something impossible (to recover a loss after a shift from single disk to raid) or is there some hope?

thanks

ps:sorry for my english

If you run PhotoRec on a single disk from the RAID device, no fragment bigger than the RAID chunk size will be correct.
You need to run PhotoRec against the RAID device.
