Recovered video files won't play
- by BioGeek
I have an SD card with pictures and video which malfunctioned. I was able to recover the files with Photorec. The pictures are OK, but wen I try to open the vide files (*.mov extension) in get the following errors when I try to open them in the following programs
Windows Media player: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file"
Quicktime: "Error -2048: Couldn't open the file because it is not a file that QuickTime understands"
VLC: it shows the first frame of the video and the sound is just white noise
The filesizes look correct so I presume the data is still in there. Is there any way to fix these recovered video files?
