Just got back from a big event in West Virginia. My buddy got a new Gopro Hero 4 and caught some awesome footage.
We were looking at them on my laptop(Windows8.1) via a Micro SD to SD adapter. Started copying one video over to my computer and he opened up the video(with VLC by default) while it was copying and then suddenly everything borked.
All the files on the card changed to some gibberish. Everything appeared to be lost.

I managed to recover the still pictures that were taken on it using PhotoRec, but the videos that it "recovered" don't seem to work and give me an error when trying to open up with VLC. It seems to have recovered tiny thumbnail sized still images from the videos, but the mp4 files do not work.
Any suggestions? I've never tried data recovery before and just found PhotoRec via google and tried it. It kinda worked lol
Halp!
