![]() ![]() The names of the files will be gone but these recovery utilities will locate the data and create new files that you can save and rename. The data blocks are left intact until they are overwritten by new files. When a file is deleted from a file system, only the metadata is deleted. The only thing that's really lost are guys obviously don't understand how file systems long as the blocks have not been over-written the files will be 100% recoverable if the correct utility is used. A good recovery tool will be able to read the datablocks and piece together nearly all files (depending on how fragmented the file system was when you shot your last photos/videos). If formatting inside your chosen camera takes only a few seconds, then you can be 100% certain nothing was actually erased. Really properly formatting (as in overwriting each memory cell with 0 or 1) inside the camera should take minutes or even hours if we're talking about 16, 32 or 64GB cards. Perhaps other Sony cameras perform formatting differently but I'd be surprised if that was true. I was able to recover ALL videos I shot that day, several photos from the same day as well as a large number of other photos, some of them even YEARS old! They obviously survived MANY formats as I format regularly. I once formated the card in the camera by mistake but formatting didn't actually delete anything. Personally I only have experience with Sony NEX-6 but it should be the same for all models. If you are succesful and actualy find some fairy dust please bottle some for us to use.There's some confusion about this topic, it seems. ![]() We just can’t find any magical fairy dust to recover the actual mp4 and play it. We managed to restore the folders from the SxS card along with the folder structure, even with all the correct files names.įile size seem correct as well and reflect the duration of the recordings that were logged during the night. My problem began when our DIT deleted the wrong folder thinking it was on an external drive but was in fact on the org SxS card. I think like Alister says in his past posts to other people with the same problem is to maybe send the card back to Sony, I can’t do that because I am still on location on a tinny Island filming and we need to view the footage to decide if we have to stay up for another 4 nights in a row to try and capture the activitiy we were filming. ![]() I have seriuosly been looking for an answer to this issue for days now on the web and have downloaded many many programs all promising to solve the problem. This is one of the main reasons its so difficult to find a reliable way to restore corrupted data files after they have been found. I read an Interesting article on a grass valley site explained how a SxS solid state card writes data in blocks but not one after the other on the card but more spread all over the place, the reason for this is to help extend the life of the card. This is a paid restore service and with a 35GB + of data to restore isn’t an option for us. The only software that has been able to show us an actual image so far has been Treasured. I have had the exact same issue that you are facing DaveB for the past 76hrs, still trying to solve this MP4 problem. I am filming on location and won’t be getting back to the mainland for 2 more weeks.Īny advice appreciated and hopefully this thread can help other people in a similar situation. I thought I was deleting another CLPR folder from my external drive to make space but instead I was deleting the CLPR folder on my org SxS card. When I import the BPAV folder into premier it still comes back and says damaged files.īy accident I dropped the CLPR folder from my 64GB Orage card into my mac trash bin and then deleted the trash. ( which I didn’t delete so I still have the CUEUP.XML file and General/ MEDIAPRO.XML and TAKR folders as they were org created in the camera ) I then dropped the CLPR folder back into the org BPAV folder. I renamed the folder the name of the clip and then dropped that folder back into the org CLPR folder I have restored like you advised in an earlier post successfully and have been able to see the file structure of the new created folder that was created by the restore software.MP4/.SMI/.PPN/.XML/.BIM all seem to be intact in a renamed folder. ![]()
