If you're still here, I have a solution! I also had this problem when I used any of the recovery programs, I researched this for quite some time and I found out that the software returned two types of files, one very short MPEG and a longer MOV, I found out that the software reads the video file as two different parts, one with the video information and one with the header information. I tried changing file extension to mp4 but that didn't change any of the errors described above. Thought I was being so clever in doing this recovery. I even copied a few of the files back to the SD card and tried to play them on my son's camcorder, but they just have a big X through them now. I try to open on Firefox and get a Q with a question mark in it, and I try to open on my desktop with Quicktime and get 'Error- 2408: Couldn't open the file FILE0021.MOV becuase it is not a file that Quicktime understands. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.' Windows Media Player says 'Windows Media Player cannot play the file. mov extensions, but they won't play when clicked to play. Recuva recoved about 100 files and put them in New Folder on my desktop. I downloaded Recuva, ran it on the SD card from my son's camcorder to recover videos that we deleted somehow at the end of our August vacation.
