Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before sending us your files. Still unsure? Contact us — replies within a few hours.

We can repair corrupted, un-finalized, broken, unplayable media files with interrupted recording in situations like: dead battery, bad flash card or faulty slot, accidentally turned off, dropped, crash, water damage, collision, or other types of breakdown, as well as deleted or formatted files and transfer/storage issues.
Yes, we can. DAT, MDT and RSV are unplayable files generated by Canon, Panasonic and Sony cameras. We can help you repair and convert them into playable video formats — MOV, MP4, MXF — with the best possible result.
This happens after an accidentally interrupted recording. You need to immediately remove the SD card from the device after the accident to avoid the data being overwritten.
Pricing depends on the file type, the nature of the damage and the file size. Simple corrupted-video repairs typically start around US$15; complex cases (unfinalized RSV/DAT, fragmented files, hardware-level recovery) cost more. You always receive a free diagnosis and a firm quote before paying anything — and if we can't produce a working result, you pay nothing.
Please upload the file via Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or another cloud storage service, then share the link with us. For memory-card recovery, you need to create an image file with free tools we recommend.
Most video repairs are completed within 24–48 hours of receiving the file. Standard card recoveries take 1–3 days; complex or hardware-level cases may take up to a week. Urgent situations (legal deadlines, broadcast schedules) can usually be expedited — just tell us your deadline.
No. We rebuild the damaged structures around your original video data rather than re-encoding it. Resolution, frame rate, bitrate and audio sync remain exactly as recorded. There are no watermarks or trial limitations on delivered files.
Absolutely. Files are transferred over encrypted connections, worked on in a private lab, and permanently deleted 14 days after delivery (or immediately on request). We never view beyond what the repair technically requires, never share content with third parties, and are happy to sign an NDA for commercial or legal cases.
We accept PayPal (which also supports major credit/debit cards without a PayPal account). Payment is only requested after you've confirmed the free preview. Invoices are provided for business clients.
Corrupted video files that still contain their data stream succeed in the large majority of cases. Deleted/formatted card recoveries depend mainly on how much has been written to the card since the loss — if you stopped using it immediately, chances are excellent. After the free diagnosis we'll always give you an honest estimate, and if we consider a case unrecoverable we'll say so rather than take your money.
Not at all — this is one of the most common situations we see. Off-the-shelf tools handle only routine header damage. We work at the structural level, rebuilding indexes, carving fragmented streams and handling proprietary formats (RSV, DAT, MXF variants) that consumer software doesn't support. Just make sure the software you tried didn't overwrite or re-encode the original file.
Often yes — most of these cases are frequently recoverable. Contact us with a description and a photo before doing anything else, and please don't attempt to open, bend or solder the card yourself, as this can turn a repairable case into an impossible one.
Yes — corrupted or silent WAV, M4A, 3GPP and AMR files, including voice memos and interview recordings from phones and recorders, are a regular part of our work. Send us the file for a free preview.
Everywhere. Because most work is done remotely over secure upload, location doesn't matter — we currently serve clients in more than 60 countries across every continent.
