Recovering corrupted video file?

[The End]

How can I recover a corrupted video file?

I had a camera similar to a Gopro attached to my motorcycle when the mount snapped and the camera smashed onto the ground.

I've recovered the SD card and can view all of the footage, except the file being recorded at the time of crash.

It displays as 0kb and cannot play in VLC or Windows Media Player. It is a .avi file.

Is there any way to recover it?

My experience, no would be the simple answer

Have to agree unfortunately, 0 kb means there's nothing there to recover. I would suspect that the video was still being held in the camera memory before writing to the drive at the time of the incident, either that or the impact corrupted the entire file before it was committed to the card.

fuck i hate gopro. and i hate faggots that video every shit.

throw greiners photorec over it, if it exists (has correct hex headers) then it'll find it. since it shows up as a 0b file, that indicates it does infact exist.

then go and shoot yourself in the face for videoing your shit.
