our car impacted the wall about lap 21 and was pretty much destroyed the cam would not transfer to notebook at the track
said it was corrupted so i had to wait till i got home and used my desktop card reader where microsoft chkdsk took over and fixed it i was able to load it into virtual dub and it reconstructed 488m
of the video but was unable to edit it so i ended up using win movie maker to post my question is the video size says 500m when played it says 488m chkdsk says 18m in a hidden file
if i could just retrieve a few stills of the car being wadded up id be happy oh by the way the cam survived a 100 mph impact into a concrete wall ! any suggestions ?
the video got posted on you tube being .wmv look for "09team"
over there
yikes, that sounds a bit scarry. It sounds like the file isn't corrupted but you're looking for some missing clips? can you send me a direct link? I couldn't find the clip on youtube.
Thanks.

Virtual Dub has recovered almost any video file i have requested of it, I just turn off Audio Feed & it usualy goes threw.
It even recovered video off a archos AV500 that was crashed on hard.
i still get this when i open it up:
[!] AVI: Index not found or damaged -- reconstructing via file scan.
[!] AVI: Invalid chunk detected at 511278294. Enabling aggressive recovery
mode.
[!] AVI: Keyframe flag reconstruction was not specified in open options and
the video stream is not a known keyframe-only type. Seeking in the video
stream may be extremely slow.
Ok thats somewhat good.
Press CTRL + P, scroll down to Xvid & select ok
then go file - save as AVI - save the file, it will recompile & compress what it an in Xvid Mode.
will take anywhers from 10min-2hours depending on video size
after control p xvid is not listed

you guys are beyond me at this point. i'll see if anyone on the team has any ideas.
Just a quick note - as a rule of thumb, I'd argue in the future don't let windows do the disk check. Cancel the check and get everything you can off the disk first. Only after you've got everything you can, and there remains stuff to get, should you let windows check. The reason why is that windows is often pretty anal about things, and the scan will attempt to restore the filesystem at the cost of the data on the filesystem.
Hope that made sense.
well when i got home and plugged it into my desktop at home it automatically went to chkdsk and once that has been done and windows fixes it probably no going back now the lost data is not there now no going back ?
thanks so much for the virtual dub info.. recovered some vids, it works well. much appreciated.
