Recovering unfinalized video footage files

The camera was recording and the battery ran out. When teh battery was replaced some files were recovered by the camera but one was not. Its icon is a segment of broken chain on the camera's screen. The camera gives a message that the file could not be recovered or read.

Testimonial: "*SIGH* I guess you missed the part where I said, "The camera gives a message that the file could not be recovered or read." So I guess I'll answer your question. Yes, it gives a message."

Hi! As a first course of action please link the handycam and the pc via usb. By then you can copy the files from the handycam and hopefully it will open. But if not, then the dvd itself is faulty. You will need a replacement for it to work normally again. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

oops....something happened during the finalizing process and it failed. Hope you had a back-up in your computer of the disk. It doesn't need to be finalized to have it in the computer, just in case this happens. Looks like your disc got erased.

I finalized a dvd-rw disc using sony 205 video camera. Dic plays in camera but is not recognized by either of my two computers

It is possible that the software on your computer(s) does not have the correct codex to read the video files. Can you access the disc in Explorer (or equivalent) ? If so, try converting the video files to a different format (i.e. if they are .MOV files, convert them to .MP4 or .MPG). Freemake Video Converter should be able to handle this - as the name suggests, it is free.

Lost footage

Do not try anything else with the memory card. Try to recover the files using Sandisk recovery Software. But if you click pics on the memory card it will be difficult to recover your old images.

Lost files with camcorder everio gz-hd7

From my experience with Hard Drive based Camcorders.. you're best bet is to treat them like a computer.. use an application like Data Rescue II to recover the files from the camcorder.. once the files are recovered, reformat the HD on teh camcorder and you should be abel to start recording new footage again.

Disc error

Yes, I was able to recover my video file, but it also recovered old footage that was "deleted", and attached it to the end of the file I wanted. I then had to use a video editing program (TMPGEenc worked the best, you can find it on the web) to remove the footage I did not want.
