After recovery almost all files the same... pls help

[gervasius]

Hello,

I have SC card with videos, and I delete files one by one in my camera.
After that I realized that I didn't copy some of them and I tried to recover
video files. I didn't put on SD card anything after that, and all recovery software
shows that this video file is in excellent condition (I know the name of file that
I try to recover), and after recovery - this is combination of two other videos.
I tried to recover all video files from sd card (FAT32) and all recovered video files
showing almost the same video...
I know that this video I tried to recover was latest and after that I didn't put anything
else on sd card.

It looks that something happend in file names, and all filenames pointing on wrong file.
I know that data are on SD card, but how to recover it?
Does it exist some method that I can put out files without filenames..
Yes, I tried also raw files, but they also showing something else

pls, help

thank you

What recovery software did you use?

a good software is GetDataBack for FAT. or a free one called "Recuva".

Make sure you don't write to the card to further damage it, put on the write protect switch if your SD card has one.

It sounds like labtech is alluding to not a very good software used to recover, and I agree.

I used lot of software, but every software gives me different results...
I successfully repaired few parts of video with something I found
on net testdisk-6.14-WIP.win ... I have to repair boot sector
(with this software I made card image) and work on image.

But it is strange to me that it is very hard to repair last video
on the card... Maybe I made mistake when I delete this video from camera

Hmm, Reading your first post, it is possible that the OS on your camera does not delete files the same way windows does. Windows basically changes the filename, making it easy to recover deleted files. It is possible the embedded OS of your camera deletes in a way that is not as easy.

I would try GetDataBack with the option set for most, ah, aggressive recovery. I have had really good results with very damaged file systems.

or take it to a DR lab and they can read the chips and recover that way. But as the card seems to be quite serviceable, Probably whatever the best result you get from the image is going to be your best result, period.

Make a good image of the card, and then work with that image.
Use R-studio and scan that image to get all your info back.
