    I had several MOV files on a device, I usually go through on the device to delete the clips I don't want before moving to hard drive. I accidently deleted all after I thought only one was selected. Problem with deleting on the device there was no recycle bin or undo. I used deletion recovery software to get the files and they have all or most of the bytes. However, I am unable to open the files now with any software because of errors. Does anyone know any good scan and repair software for MOV files? Thanks.

    Before trying to repair them I would try recovering them with a program designed for data recovery not just deleted file recovery.
    I do quite a lot of this and am happy to help if you can get the drive to me.
    Do NOT entrust this to anyone like Geek Squids.

    If they are not badly damaged with recovery software, I might be able to help. Done a lot of work with videos and have plenty of "special" video tools with source codes... Let me know, no promises, but IMHO worth a try :)

    thank you! I put the smallest file out there, it is still 50 Mb. Most of the files are 1-3 GB as I record in HD.

    It is recoverable with some hexedit here and there. I will modify code over weekend so it can parse it without crashes... Size is not a problem at all.

    the problem is I have 7 more of these files most 1-3 GB. Is there some scan software that can do it without the work? Thanks!
