Photorec is 100% free and open source, runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, etc. In one instance it didn't recognize a particular Kodak movie format, I sent the author Christophe Grenier a sample of the Kodak movie file, and within the day he sent me back a patch to rescue the files. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec -rei On 05/16/2010 02:35 PM, Richard Man wrote: > I was shooting with 2 16GB and one 8 GB cards during "Costume Con" last > weekend, constantly swapping them in and out.
