Fortunately I did find the movie file and all is well.

...And, the good news is I found the movie file on my desktop, when I moved the files from the video cam disk to a folder I'd made for them I thought I carried them all over to the folder but instead they went to empty spots between other icons, my desktop is a cluttered mess alright, I've been working some with the program "Fences" featured here a while back so I'd been picking out files that are going into certain fences, the files from the video cam disk filled in some of those available spots, I have two 28inch screens so there is a lot of room for "stuff".

Lesson learned, make sure files all transfer properly and PhotoRec is good program.

If a program like this can work I would rather it would show me it will recover working files before demanding payment, a full working program with a limited number of days as an example, one program I tried would only recover so many Mb's but not enough for any one of the movie files.

If I am confusing this with one of the other programs I tried please let me know and I will give it a try too.

It may be that the videos are corrupted which is why you can't recover them.

The interface of PhotoRec is a little intimidating but it isn't that bad or I wouldn't have been able to do it, the photos can go where you choose but I went with the default folder which is part of the program; recup_dir.1 so its easy to find.

I might not be able to recover the movie file but I think the program is a keeper.

Thanks Ashraf!

I am using the Windows 7 64bit version, perhaps I should try the 32bit version.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help,

Stan

It isn't very user-friendly but is one of the best file recovery software available; and its freeware. See http://dottech.org/freeware-reviews/10756/.

I've tried Recuva which worked fine for the pictures but the videos that it recovered will not play at all even with VLC player which is what I use most of the time.

I thought I had transferred the files to my computer but I guess not, when I checked the folder they weren't there and I had already deleted them from the flash card in the camera.

Thanks for any help,

Stan
