I am trying to recover clips from a 64GB SD card that was used in a DVX200 and then reformatted in the DVX200. I am attempting to do this using RescuePro, a utility that comes with SanDisk cards. The card has not been written to after the re-format.

The utility finds the files but doesn't fully recover them. On RescuePro's website I found this note:

"Media that has been formatted can still be recovered as long as data has not been written back to the formatted media. In the case of heavy fragmentation, it may be necessary to send the card for in house recovery to recover the most data. Please contact Datarecovery@LC-Tech.com for more information on this service. NOTE that some devices perform a destructive format or erase, and in those cases, the data is not recoverable."

Does anyone know if the DVX200 performs a "destructive format or erase?"

The RescuePro knows that there used to be a file on the card and goes through a process of seeming to recover it. Yet, I am unable to play the file. Would a "destructive format" obliterate all evidence of previous files, or perhaps just wipe out the content?

I hope I can recover the files, but it doesn't look good at the moment.

I don't think the DVX200 does a "destructive format". That is why you can see some of the file names you wanted to recover. When you format the card, you just erase the index, not the files. But, when you wrote to the card, some of the new files replaced some of the old files space. That is why you can not get them to play back, and I would guess, no one will be able to recover all, or even some of the files, without problems. Sorry.
 
Well I'M sitting in the same boat. So 6 Month back I had the same issue. With the RescuePro it was not possible to recover all. So I have tried Wondershare Data Recovery and Stellar Phoenix Video Repair. Sorry, but I can't remember what software was the one that whorks perfect. But at the end of the line I have recovered all files!
Good luck!
