Guide For Step To Step AVCCAM SD Card File Recovery

“Last weekend, I went on an outdoor trip with my kids. I came back home and wanted to screencast the 4K video from my laptop to the living room tv. The SD card is unresponsive. Please help.” Familiar problem? Camcorders have become commonplace in our backpacks. Videos are an excellent way to preserve precious memories. You reach home after a long trip, retrieve the AVCCAM SD Card and find the laptop reads nothing. Do not worry since it can happen to anyone. We provide you a Guide For AVCCAM SD Card File Recovery.

What Causes AVCCAM SD Card Data Deletion?

Sony and Panasonic camcorders use AVCCAM specifications for storage. AVC stands for Advanced Video Coding and CAM is short for a camcorder. AVCCAM uses H.264 and Dolby AC-3 in a MPEG container.

To store the data, camcorders use SD cards, or rather, the larger variants SDHC and SDXC.

There are many reasons why an AVCCAM SD Card might not show a file.

The reason may be logical data loss:

• Accidental deletion of a file or folder is quite common. A camcorder has a small screen. It is possible while manipulating files, you deleted them.
• Accidental formatting is another possibility. The laptop asked if you wanted to format and you accidentally clicked OK. This is very common when transporting cards between operating systems (plugging it into a device from Android OS and then a device from Windows OS).
• Malware might cause the file to become invisible and unreadable.

In all the above cases, the data is there. The storage blocks have not been overwritten with new data. The file table has become corrupted and the device no longer knows where to find the data on the AVCCAM SD Card.

The reason may be physical data loss:

• The storage card is corrupted, and there are bad blocks.
• The AVCCAM SD Card has been subjected to a high temperature or moisture incursion.

In these cases, the data may or may not be present on AVCCAM SD Card.

Is Data Really Deleted From AVCCAM SD Card? 

The entire storage area of an AVCCAM SD Card is divided into a number of blocks. These vary between 4 and 12 MB in size. Each data file (say a video recording) has a record in the file table which is like a hotel register. The file table (the hotel register) is lost. That does not mean the guest has moved out. It is possible to reconstruct the entire video file provided the old data (a string of 0s and 1s) has not been overwritten with new data (another video file). There is a caveat. If the data loss is physical the blocks might have been (actually) destroyed.
