Hi All,  any help would be greatly appreciated!

Before I downloaded the videos and images from a Lexar Micro SD card that I use in Phantom 4, I accidently formated the card.  I was able to recover the still images with a recovery software,  but the videos with this same software are pixalated in spots,  so the video is unusable.  

I'm trying to see if anyone has done something similar and was able to recover their videos with software and which software did you use and was it effective?

Thanks so much for any help and it's very much appreciated!

I have used Stellar Photo Recovery software with great success.  I was able to fully restore the videos I had formatted over.  Not freeware and think I paid around 35 US Dollars.

Hope you are able to recover your videos as well.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you RDB,  I've been on the road and just got back home.  I gave that Stellar Recovery a try and unfortunately it could recover the files,  but they were damaged and won't open.  I'll have to keep searching for some other software that might work.

Thanks again for your help and suggestion and sorry about the delay in thanking you!

Try R-Undelete and make shure you use the option RAW DATA SCAN.

Keep trying various data recovery software. Most have a free trial and you may find one that does work.
