Can't find/open certain files from recent flight

[ryandasan]

Okay, i'm a novice at this, so appreciate your help. Went to Ireland and flew my drone around a bit. When i put the SD card in my computer to pull the files in several of my most prized videos weren't showing up as available to download from the card. I used Disk Drill to try to recover them and that seemed to locate them, but when i try to open them i get the error message below. The fact that the files have MB size to them makes me think they are there if i can just figure out how to open/recover them. Any ideas? I'm super bummed that my favorite moments captured aren't available to me.

Thanks again for the help.

You might have a defective or under-speed SD card. I don't know if it has changed but the SD card that came with my MP was not fast enough to record in 4K. the recovery program might have made the file accessible but with errors preventing playback.

Shoot. Here's a photo of what i use. So does this mean all is lost? :-(

Yes what Mossiback stated is very possible.
You can try this free evaluation version to try and recover them. Not sure if there is an evaluation version for the Mac though.

Eeek ... Needs to a Micro SD card that is U3 rated and not U1.
