[/COLOR]Success, only happiness! Thanks everyone!
For those familiar with Excel and DOS codes, and needing to deal with lots of recovered .MOV files to be repaired (I've got 270, more than 50GB!!!), the hint is as follows:
Execute HD Video Repair Utility once, do the Scan option for one sample file.
Go to the "Repaired" folder that has been created by the program, open "MOVDUMP.TXT" file, copy the very first line of code (LOGFILE.HTML, for latest version).
This is the COMMAND LINE that must be executed under COMMAND PROMPT (preferrably as administrator). Just remove the quote marks.
No need to run gs.exe or guiscript.exe.
In my case, to handle 270 files, I built a batch file, doing the following:
In COMMAND PROMPT (CMD), select the drive where the recovered files are located (I use PHOTOREC to do this job). Access the unit and folder (use command CD FOLDERNAME). Type DIR > SELECTION.TXT. This will create a file named "SELECTION.TXT", that will carry all the filenames to handle.
Edit this file and remove header and footer, let remain only the lines with useful information (e.g. f1233240_ftyp.mov).
Import this file in Excel, and delete all the columns except the one with the filenames. Now you must add columns and copy the information that had been stored from the first line of MOVDUMP.TXT.
You need to copy and paste that information in order to get as much COMMAND lines as the files to be repaired. Be careful to properly adjust everything, so when you save the file as TEXT again, it could be edited with NOTEPAD, to do final, manual adjustings.
Once you are sure that everything is OK, save this file as .BAT (e.g. SELECTION.BAT).
This is your batch file that will repair ALL your recovered .MOV, broken movies!
Have a beer while waiting...:
What version were you using? 1.5 , 1.7 or 1.8? Need quick reply. I get error [FATAL] you have no autorization to run this scan. Please check you key parameter, or something like that.
My batch line is:
"E:\videorepair\movdump.exe" -key 165016 -atomdump -i "E:\Raw\FILE001.MOV" -o "E:\Raw\repaired\FILE001.MOV" -save 50 -entropy 6314 -start 0 -stop 100 -ref "E:\MVI_1685.MOV" -save 100
the key changes everytime and it doesnt work even if i leave the application running.
Does any of you have v1.7 please? Or know a way around that key parameter? I really need this because v1,5 doesnt have a batch procces and it doesnt fix my files well.
Thanks in advance.
