Hi all,

I ran into a problem where I didn't correctly transfer all the files off my SD card before formatting/reusing it. It is nothing critical, but I've been trying to recover the files using "photorec" on the Mac. I recovered most of the .jpg and .rw2 files, but I'm having trouble with the video files.

Photorec has recovered a bunch of .mp4 and .mov files, however I cannot play them back with Quicktime, MPEGstreamclip, nor VLC. I'm assuming that the .mov files are the actual video media as they are larger files, and the smaller .mp4 files are just the container or pointer to the video.

Any guidance or experiences with video file recovery or tools would be appreciated, thanks.
