Is there any software to sort out bad JPG and good JPG?

March 31st, 2009, 23:06

I have 120,000 JPG files recovered from bad sectors/bad media with 30% from 120,000 jpegs are corrupted, normally i select the jpeg manually by looking at the thumbnail, However dealing with 120,000 is driving me crazy and time consuming.


Have you guys come across a software that can separate corrupted JPEG from its header file and automatically sorted good and bad?

Just wondering can winhex handle that?

Thank you.

Another simple solution : display in the detailed list CAMERA MODEL, date of shot and ATTRIBUTES. Usually a corrupted JPG won't show camera model and/or attributes.Otherwise there are a lot of programs to do the job. Honestly, I have written a simple tool to do it : read the file, define boundaries, get metadata and extended data and then rebuild a correct JPG. You can do it with common APIs and a little programming. My need was for getting a good JPG file from the 400MB common pictures recovered by RAW recovery.
