Handling Errors that make Videos Inaccessible

Powerful mechanical products, such as digital cameras, video cameras, and camcorders allow you to capture, manipulate, and store videos in a digital format. The storage medium used by most of these mechanical devices is a memory card. There are various types and forms of memory cards available in the market, such as, SD, SDHC, MMC, and CF. Corruption or damage in these storage media can occur at any point of time, resulting into inaccessibility of videos and other multimedia files. These are the situations when an updated backup allows you to restore the data. But, with backup file unavailability or falling short to restore the desired videos, the only option left is to use a third-party Video Recovery Software.

Corruption of a memory card always results into an error message, few of the most common are mentioned below:

  • Memory card could not be read
  • Memory card could not be recognized
  • Memory card could not be used
  • Card is not formatted

Outcome for all the above error messages is the same – inaccessibility of videos. In addition, these error message do not allow the user to save any new video in the memory card.

Cause:

The root cause for all the above error message is corruption of memory card, primarily due to interrupted read/write operation, virus infection, human errors, and improper use of the camera.

Resolution:

All the above listed error messages can be resolved by formatting the memory card with the camera. It deletes all the previous videos and other media files and allows you to capture and store new videos.

Videos inaccessible after Memory card error messages

Digital cameras or camcorders allow you to electronically capture or record your beautiful memories in the form of videos or pictures. These digital devices use different kinds of memory cards (SD, MMC, SDHC, etc.) to store these multimedia files. While the data stored in these digital storage media is secure, corruption can occur due to various factors like, interrupted read-write process, virus hits, or file system damage. A major hazard that a photographer encounters after memory card corruption is inaccessibility of data. To nullify such issues, a photographer should always maintain an updated backup. But, not all the photographers create a regular backup. For them, an advanced third-party Video Recovery Software acts as a boon.

Video recovery from the Canon HV20

The Canon HV20 was meant to be a follow-up to the HV10, which was the company’s first compact camcorder in High Definition (HD). The camcorder stores data in MiniDV or HDV format on MiniDV cassette and SD Cards. The data stored on these storage media is highly volatile and can get lost due to a number of reasons. Storage media getting corrupted, files being deleted accidentally, formatting of storage media, etc., are some of the primary reasons behind the loss of data. Whatever be the reason behind the misfortune, if a back-up is unavailable, and the videos get lost, you can always use a Video Recovery Software to recover the videos.

For example, while taking a video, your camcorder suddenly turns off due to empty battery. The next time when you switch on the camcorder and attempt to view the videos stored on your SD card, they do not open.

Cause:

The prime cause behind the problem is the fact that the camcorder performs a read-write process while writing files (videos taken) to the memory card or any other storage media. If this process is interrupted mid-way, the card gets corrupted. After corruption of a memory card, the data on it becomes inaccessible. In this particular case, the process was interrupted when the camcorder suddenly switched off due to empty battery.

Resolution:

The only way to resolve the problem is to format the card and then restore it’s original data back. The memory card uses a file system to store the data . When the card is formatted, the old file system and all it’s content is deleted and a new file system is set-up. The data from the old file system is still saved on the hard disk, however, it can be read neither by the computer nor the camcorder.

Since formatting the card erases data from it, Video Recovery needs to be performed. One can use a reliable Video Recovery Software for this purpose. These are specially designed tools that can recover lost multimedia files from almost any storage device, even after it has been formatted.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a  Video Recovery Software that can recover almost all lost, deleted or formatted multimedia data.
