The start of the video is deleted or overwritten
Short answer: when the start of a file is lost, players do not open it at all. We repair these files too; the part that is left comes back. Most of the time no sample video is needed.
Why?
- Ransomware encrypted the file.
- The card or disk has a bad area.
- The file was saved over by another file.
Do this now
- Keep the original file.
- If you have a working video from the same camera, keep it; we may ask for it.
- Upload the original file to our site.
Do not
- Do not try other repair programs on the original file.
Questions
Does the picture of the deleted part come back? No. Picture that is not in the file cannot come back; what comes back is the rest.
Is a sample video needed? Most of the time no. If it is, the page tells you.
