Recovering Video Files, pref. in OS-X
Posted: 03 Apr 2014 00:08
Hi, I run an educational video service (on a shoestring) and deal with a lot of HD recordings.
Every now and then I get a recording that will not open.
The file size suggests that the recorded data is there, but I cannot use it.
I have had this problem with recordings from a black magic devices H264 encoder, and also using an Elgato Game Capture HD.
I have had a similar problem (on the Elgato) with one file which will play, but only 12 seconds of it (yet the file is 10GB as I would expect for what was actually an hour long session).
Is there any way to open these files and get the full video out of them?
Thanks for any pointers!
