Thanks for the reply. So, do you think there are other programs that might be able to recover some/all of the video file in such a way that it can be play or be processed to play? Is this more of a limitation of the free version of Recuva, or am I'm basically out of options?

I recently took a video on my camera ... saved to the SandDisk drive. I then inadvertently deleted that video from the camera. I took a few photos before realizing my mistake. When running Recuva, it finds the file but says that recovery is "unlikely" ... Recuva notes that one of the pictures I took seems to have over-written the video file. However, Recuva still seems to recover something ... a large MP4 video file. But it won't play. Is there anything else I can do with Recuva ... or any other program? It was a long video, so I'm confused why one picture ruins any recovery. I'd be happy if I can even get back parts of the video. Any ideas?
