Help footage lost

I was recently involved in a crash on my bike at the Race track.

I was recording the lap session at the time and need to show the footage to show that I was not at fault.

problem is that the file (160 mb ) won't open because it ended with the crash ( instead me terminating the recording sesssion)

Anyone here know how to fix this. I have tried some softwares available online but no luck.

thanks in advance

Re: Help footage lost

Hi

What camera was it that you were using? Is the footage on a HDD, solid state or tape?

If you can give us a little bit more info, then somebody should be able to help.

It's a Samsung sports camcorder X210L and it saves on a SD card.

thanks

Re: Help footage lost

This file recovery program worked for me where others didn't. The trial version lets you peek at the recovered files before purchase.

Re: Help footage lost

thanks Peter, no luck though, the software seems to be for restoring deleted files.

Re: Help footage lost

Kardon, do you know what format of files the camcorder creates?
I might be able to open it with something over here, drop me a PM.
