Just an update on this. I eventually recovered my films from the 3 hard drives Some of them were badly fractured so I just deleted them. Some of them were broken and would only play back a minute or so and then keep looping back to the start. I also got some GPG and MYI files which were quite large ...

Thanks for the links guys. I am still using Testdisk PhotoRec. Once I had analysed all the files recovered on the first drive I realised that all i had to do was filter out the MKV files and the M2ts files. I just started from the largest file size and played the video to work out which film it was....

KP7409 are you still around? I was wondering if you could post the link as to where you read about the recovery example using analyse. I have recovered my first drive but the file structure is scattered and some of the movies are now two separate files. The file names all seem to be randomly generat...

@KP7409 How did you get on with your recovery. Did you get all of your files back. I am currently removing a load of games on from one of my gaming PC hard drives on to a USB elements drive in order to be able to empty it. I will then have a 3TB drive to use for recovery. It is taking hours. Hopeful...

I have not done anything yet as the drive I thought I had turned out to be a 2TB rather than a 3TB that I need so looks like I will just have to get another drive. I have had a look around but I am wondering if I should get a 12TB WD elements and shuck it. Black Friday is also round the corner so bu...

Thanks for that kp I will give this a try tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have had a quick look and Recuva seems to be more of an undelete program than a more advanced disk recovery but I will look in a bit more detail.

Ah yes thanks good point. Looks like I will have to buy another drive. Might just go for a 12 or 14TB and then drop that into the Media player. It will let me use the other discs for backup. No reply to my email yet though. I will run the trial version over the weekend and see if it looks good enoug...

Thanks Woodstock i saw the Easus which seems to be okay. I have also seen one from Lsoft called active file recovery. There is a 40 dollar difference plus it seems vat on top so if I can get the same results from the cheaper version then that would be better. I have emailed detailing what happened a...

Hi new member but have used MakeMKV for all my BD discs over the past few years but now want to start on my UHD discs. However that is not the only reason I joined the forum. I am looking for help and advice I have a Home cinema PC and due to having an older graphics card and HDMI incompatabilities ...
