I had a whole card worth of clips show the red X. I searched the forum and tried the "repair clip" from the camera, but no luck. Fortunately I still have the card saved as well as the data backed up to the laptop.
What options are there to save these files? This was an out of town shoot and it won't be pretty to re-do these shots. :(
Any suggestions are WELCOME! Thanks.
 
will the HVX200 still play them?

cause i had a RED X clip, but the HVX could still play it. then i pulled it to Vegas and it worked fine.
 
No the camera won't play them. The icons, audio, etc are on the card in their proper folder, but I can't see any files in the video folder.
 
No video files show up in the Video folder to link you to. The Audio, Clip and Icon folders all have their data. The Video folder shows NO files???

I was wondering if a data recovery or other type application can salvage this?
Any help would be apreciated. I'm trying to avoid using that card so it stays in tact for now.
 
THoff suggested ZAR (Zero Assumption Recovery) or PC Inspector, (hope you don't mind), and Zar did find files in the Video folder.
The problem, I'm guessing, is that it doesn't know what type of files it's seeing so it can't salvage what it doesn't understand???

Any suggestions? Thanks to all. I wonder if Panasonic would be able to help for research sake?
