Shooting videos was never as easy as it is today, thanks to the revolution brought by digital camcorders. Digital camcorders have become a choice of both professionals and amateur users. The high quality video capturing and easy-to-use features have made them popular with people of all age groups. A camcorder uses a variety of memory cards like SD, SDHC, XD, MMC, micro SD, MMC plus etc.

These devices are safe enough to preserve your videos but they can't be trusted over a period of time. In fact, a minor careless mistake while handling the card can land your videos in abyss. For instance, a memory card can get corrupted due to interruption in read/write process, in event of file system damage or a virus attack. After corruption, you won't be able to access the videos anymore. However, videos can be restored from an updated backup very easily. But in case, the back up is not available for some reason, one can rely on a video recovery software to recover videos.

As a practical case, imagine you are covering a small family get together at your place and suddenly the batteries give up. When you charge the camcorder and try resuming the shooting, you get the following error:

"Memory card needs formatting"

The message would surely appall you as you would no longer have access to the previously saved video and other stuff on your camcorder. More so, you won't be able to shoot new videos after the appearance of the above error.

Cause :

The error which rendered your videos inaccessible could have been a fallout of the corruption which crept in your card due to an interruption in read/write process. In this case, the process was interrupted when the camera batteries conked out in the middle of shooting the video.

Resolution :

1. Turn off the camera, take out your memory card and re-insert it again
2. You can also try and access the files on a computer
3. If a computer doesn't read from the camera directly, use a card reader
4. If nothing works out, format the card to get rid of corrupted file system
