Is it possible?

Went to a party a few weeks ago, took some pictures and a few video clips. I was viewing them yesterday on my camera before docking, but I was moving too *damn* fast through the button selections and deleted them all!

EDIT:

CardRaider seems to be a good choice, although I would have to purchase it. Any other *freeware* alternative? I'm more interested in getting the video files back!

If you search Versiontracker you find something like this:

CardRaider 1.2 software download - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

I have never personally tried this software, therefore I don't recommend it.

Yeah, I tried the Demo, it recovered the files (preview sized) so it works for photos, but I emailed them asking about the .AVI files. Hopefully they respond soon!

I have used EXIF Untrasher successfully for stills but never tried on movie files. By the name I would guess that only still images would be found. Certainly worth a look though.

Files recovered!

I used Photorec - PhotoRec - CGSecurity

The problem is that the .AVI files won't play in Quicktime anymore. I have to Open With VLC and VLC comes up with an error saying the AVI file is broken, so it asks me if I want to try to repair it, I say "Yes" and it plays fine. But I have to repair each time I want to play the video...

I'm checking the applications I have on my PB to see what I can do to fix this... Right now it seems iSquint fixes it, but it's in MP4 format. Oh well... I'm just happy I got my videos back!!!!

Thanks for the tips guys!
