You need to do a “deep media scan” in their software. I remember that was the only way to find the footage.

They then work up a “repair kit” based on the clips you want to save. Spendy but worth it.

Thanks for the help, Tim. I enlisted Treasured’s software/service (by Aero Quartet) and was able to recover everything.

For future Pix240 users who find corrupt files like this after a power failure, I recommend the following:

1.) Create .img file of entire CF card SSD (what have you)
2.) Use Treasured to run a “Deep Media Scan” of the entire thing.
3.) Use the handy slices in iPhoto to determine if your clip is there, and follow the steps Treasured recommends.

Overall cost was $299 which is I think their highest tier of service. Certainly worth it. Their tech support was also very quick when the first “repair kit” had the wrong frame rate output.

Thanks. Some people I’ve talked to think it may just be a missing footer on the file? This makes sense to me because it was sudden power loss that caused the corruption in the first place.

Is that something I can replace manually? I have a working file that shares the same specs.

I’ll also look into File Warrior.

Thanks Tim,

I should first admit I’m Terminal-ly ignorant 🙂

The result was hard for me to understand. The only reference to my file came at the end via:

-rw-rw-rw-@ 1 4294967295 nogroup 0 Jan 16 09:33 XXXX1-15-13_003_001.mov

The Xs are continuing the redacted text in the file name (for client privacy).

Does this mean anything?
