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.

Hi,

You can use the File Listing and Testing app placed here: http://www.datarecoveryengineer.com/

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.
