GH4 Pulled SD card from camera before stopping recording ....uh oh!

[monkeyking]

Now I can't retrieve the HD MOV file on my GH4.

Any recommended data rescue programs? CardRescue doesn't seem to do anything.

thanks,

From a previous post of mine--

I had this happen to me recently. The only free tool that worked was Photo Rec. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec. It got every scrap of data off my card. The only problem is that with quicktimes, you end up with two separate files, an mdat and ftyp, one has the movie, the other the metadata, and I had to merge them into one file. In my case unfortunately, they were named differently so I had no way of knowing what belonged to what. I ended up using this program to repair the movie file instead--http://grauonline.de/cms2/?page_id=5. Once I got the movie, I discovered the clips were corrupted and wouldn't play smoothly in Quicktime, but would play fine in VLC. Took a while to figure out but I was finally able to re-encode it using FFMPEG. https://www.ffmpegx.com. Wish there was a simpler process, and some of the programs you have to pay for might be easier. I demoed a couple and they couldn't find as much data as Photo Rec did.
