I have a very crucial and important video disc for a legal trial. It was formatted to be used with an AVD player. I viewed the file footage several times and then the first few scenes disappeared and I desperately need to retrieve them. Can anyone help!! It was a proprietary video (police) and can't be altered. I only want to see the whole video again....I lost the footage when we played it on our office PC
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
If this is on a CD or DVD disk the file/footage is still there.
Remove the disc from the DVD drive. Reboot your computer. Insert the disk and see if you can then view the video.
You might want to try using VLC Media Player.
Shootist007,
Thanks for the reply and information, I have tried rebooting and running it on other Computers. I run VMWare and Windows XP Pro on my Mac...The AVD Player is Windows based and it worked for about 10 plays and showed all the footage....then it stopped. Hopefully since no one messed with the disc, the information is still on there....I will try the VLC Media player....Hope it works.... Again, Thanks
VLC will work on the Mac side also.
I suggest you copy the file/s over to the hard drive and watch from there.
