Something went bad with my compact flash card for my digital camera. I had some pictures and a 4 min movie clip on the card (my camera also takes movies). When I went to transfer the pictures to the computer something went wrong and the pictures dissapeared. I grabbed a recovery program and recovered the missing files. The pictures are ok, however the video seem to be broken up into 1.5meg files. How in the world can I piece this back together? Is there a recovery program that would do this automatically?

Thanks.

Is there an extention to the files that it got broken into? That would be a start to find a program that deals with that extention.

Some of the files were .wavs (which makes sense because of the audio of the movie) but then the rest seem to be a .doc format. These are supposed to be quicktime movies.

hmmm... .doc has nothing to do with video files.. that's weird... try changing the extension to .mov and see if it plays.
