Evening all, sat here quite frustrated. I'll tell you a little story (secretly hoping no-one has had the same misfortune).
Went out, flew, did some recordings (remembered to turn off the video before powering off P2V), reviewed the footage on my phone, all good, flew again, and again and again etc... got home to look at the footage I had taken, but on a computer I was met with "this file cannot be played" on any of my video players (including VLC). 2 out of the 26 files work, the rest don’t. Had a go at using Stellar Phoenix Video Repair - no luck, Grau GmbH had some luck but each different file it managed to repair was exactly the same as the last?! Had a go with mp4repair.org and it also showed me the same clip for each file. Also tried the DJI Fixer 4.1.0.0 (from the Zip file) and that too produces the same clip for any of the damaged files.
The file sizes for each of the damaged files are all different and the files all played at one point from the drone to phone through WIFI extender. I even tried the old, put card in the drone and turn on to finalize the files, but still no luck. I can’t even watch the footage from the drone through to my phone now. Went for another flight, recorded footage, previewed on phone and also works on the computer (no change to drone, camera or memory card settings etc).
Has anyone had similar "fun" with damaged footage and if so, any steps to recovery?!
