MVC
« on: July 29, 2014, 04:16:07 PM »
A friend has had some photos sent to him from his daughter-in-law in Australia, she loaded the pics onto her pc but cannot open them, my friend Ted can't either so he asked me, ???  I cannot open them either.

All the info there is on this sample is, MVC-003 JPG (46.3kb)

I searched the web for MVC but found nothing relevant, can anyone help please?

Regards to all,

Peter  (and Ted)

According to the description, they're .JPG files (which is what I would expect with photos). If the information above is the actual filename, then I suggest that you rename it to MVC-003.JPG and try again.

I think I am going to tell him they are knackered, I missed the .jpg but renaming them didn't work either.

Thanks guys for responding.

At 46.3k they sound more like thumbnails anyway.

Hi Peter.
 You would almost certainly stand a better chance of recovering some of the images if you had access to the original memory card that they were saved on.
 I have had great results using Testdisk and Photorec.

http://www.cgsecurity.org/

Photorec scans the whole drive for datablocks and will definately recover some, usually most, and if they have not been overwritten by subsequent saves to the file system, potentially all of the images.

I have only used the Linux versions, but they appear to offer free download for other Operating Systems too.

I hope this is of some help to you.
 
TL;DR Send this link to whoever has the physical media. :http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
