[QUOTE="williamjbrown, post: 563863, member: 42335"] [b]Help -- 4 of 10 *video* files (shot with Nikon d 5300) on new SD Card "unreadable"[/b] Hi there... I shot HD video with my normally very trusty Nikon d5300 of my children's play at The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank 10 days ago. Approaching intermission of the 2nd show that day, I noticed I was running low on SD Card disc space. I literally ran to a local Rite-Aid Pharmacy and bought a new 32 GB SD Card, returned to the theatre, inserted the card, and was barely ready as "Act 2" began. I shot 10 scenes over the next 35 minutes; later, I successfully imported 6 of these large files -- however, four of the files (not the last four, interestingly) were "unreadable" and could not be accessed due to "disc error" on the SD Card. Through Windows Explorer (Windows 7), I can "see" these files on the SD Card -- they are large video files of different sizes, characteristic of typical video files. However, I cannot transfer these or access them for playback. They have become "corrupted". To the community: Surely, other users have experienced this. There is a BLOATLOAD of Google Search returns for "free" and "not-so-free" software tools that claim that they can "restore corrupted photo and video files from SD Cards", but it seems a sketchy area of the software marketplace, and of course, I cannot find any reputable authority to say "THIS (or THAT) works!". Please help. 1) Are these files potentially recoverable, based on what I've described here? (Please contact me if you require more info) 2) Can I do it "myself"? 3) What do you recommend? Thank you very much. [/QUOTE]
