Dozens of video files recovered and allegedly repaired via advance repair from a known good video off the same camera system. None of them play. I tried another program called Video Repair Tool and realized that I bought the wrong tool. Stellar is not fixing these videos.

I have recovered my files and the files are not readable "It appears that we don't support this file format" and no preview available within the application. The preview was working on the trial version and stopped working once i put the license key in.

When I follow the process for advance repair it creates folders but without any files. Are you able to assist?

Thanks

Hi Dan,

We understand your situation that files are not getting repair.

年代oftware provides a partial preview for files, if preview is not available than files are severely corrupted.

你好,我能够恢复各种文件(jpg, .xlsx, .docx, etc) from a bad hard drive and copy them to my Mac. However, I can't open any of the files. It says either "the file is corrupt and can't be opened" or "the file is can not be recognized". Any help would be appreciated as I purchased this product specifically to recover files. Thanks.

ive tried to recover some videos and it seems to have successfully recovered them, however they are mp4 format which I can't open on my Mac! ive put them onto a usb and transferred them to my pc however it now says "can't play. this file isn't playable. that might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect or the file is corrupt.

I bought this tool thinking it was legitimate software. Very disappointed. I want to cancel the purchase and get my money back. I'm afraid that after I used this tool, now my files will be REALLY damaged.
