Hi,

I recovered some files with names like, f0283413_wide.mov but it won't open on quick time 7, newer, nor VLC...

VLC says:

"VLC can't recognize the input's format

The format of 'file:///Users/fabio/recup_dir.1/f0283413_wide.mov' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details."

is there a way to view this file? there are other like it ranging form 3.2MB to 2.15GB in size so I know there's something there right?

Any good soul out there that can help me in my plight to recover precious memories?

much thanks!!

If those recovered files can't be opened by Quicktime, VlC, they are not completely or damaged. ...Which app do you use to recover it?

Maybe your deleted files has been overwritten, so application can't recover them. You can search and know how data recovery tech work in google.

You might see whether Digital Rebellion's salvage function in Pro Maintenance Toolscan repair any of them. There is a trial version.
