For recovering other video formats and photos, see our Photo and Video File Recovery Tutorial 2020 article.īefore We Begin: Data Recovery Basics and AVCHD File StructureĪlthough not required for completing the steps in this walkthrough, some basic background knowledge about data recovery will help contextualize some of the concepts covered here.
Note that this article will primarily focus on recovering video from the AVCHD storage media used in camcorders and BlueRay disks. In each scenario, we'll recover lost video clips and in some cases, restore the data so it can be used on the camcorder again. In this article, we'll illustrate a few different video recovery scenarios using four typical cases.
Because video files are just like the rest of the data on your computer, you can use the same powerful data recovery techniques that are effective for recovering or undeleting other files. But on the other hand, if you do experience data loss, video recovery from hard drives and flash cards is much easier than from damaged VHS tapes or DVDs. This leaves your digital videos vulnerable to all the typical data loss risks: hard drive failure, virus attacks, accidental deletion, unsafe removal of memory cards, improper data migration, etc.
The mode of capturing and archiving videos has shifted from storing videos on physical media to importing and storing data just like you would other digital data on your computer. While there are many advantages to digital video formats, there are a number of drawbacks as well. The digital video is then transferred to your normal PC, where it can be edited, burned to a DVD, uploaded to the web, or streamed to a smart TV set or set-top box. Instead of a miniature cassette tape, video is stored on the camcorder using a flash memory card - Secure Digital (SD) or Compact Flash (CF)-or an internal hard drive. AVCHD, which stands for Advanced Video Coding High Definition, allows digital camcorders to use conventional computer storage devices, like hard disk drives, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. The most common digital camcorder format is the AVCHD format. Today, videotape-based camcorder formats such as VHS, Betamax, and Video8 have been superseded by digital formats. On the consumer market, the days of the analog tape camcorder are long gone.
