Hello

Thought I would share this with you in case any of you run into this issue.

I gave my wife a Sony Handycam for christmas DCR-SR80 with a 60 gig hard drive in it. She took it with over to her nephews wedding and recorded the ceremony and a bunch other clips. The bizarre part was she was the only one with a video camera at the wedding....

Anyway she got back home and we looked at all the clips on the camera and then transferred them over to the computer and I immediately burned them to a DVD and we then deleted them off of the camera.

Last night I decided to make a video dvd of the wedding so it will play like a regulard dvd in a home player. I got done and started running it and noticed that the ceremony itself wasn't on the menu. Looked at the original dvd I burned and on the computer, no where to be found. Thats when the tension in the house rose about 100 levels..... My wife was crying, I was trying to calm her down, it wasn't a pretty site....

I told her once you delete something it never really goes away unless you overwrite the disc or format it. We hadn't put any other videos on the camera so I downloaded that winundelete program loaded it up and scanned the drive on the camera and sure enough there it was, 1.7 gig's worth of video of the ceremony. I highlighted it and clicked on recover, it ground away for awhile and within a couple of minutes there it was.

We still don't know what happened or why it didn't transfer and why of all the videos that was the one that was lost.....

So anyway its a great program in my book...

    That's good to know. I had wondered exactly how you could recover lost info like that.
