I have a JVC everio GZ-MG230 and my friend accidentally deleted all of the videos from it when he was trying to delete just one. There was not a lot of time used up for video but I have lab videos on there I really need. I tried using "Recuva" and many other programs to recover the files but none of the videos come up, just the pictures do. I have the camcorder set on video and not pictures so I know that is not the problem. Is it because when I hooked up the camcorder to the computer I said "backup" instead of "playback" ? What do I need to do to get this to work?
Hi, gliedt13.
Good news is that you have much chances to perform video recovery from JVC video camera. BUT the first thing you should do is STOP taking more videos with your JVC recorder.
The next step should be - take more recovery programs to rescue the videos. here are some that should help you out.
For Windows --> File Recovery Software
For Mac OS X --> Video Recovery for Mac
1. Connect your camera (memory card) to a PC or Mac which has installed the recovery program. 2. Scan for the lost video files. 3. Recover them easily.Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back to the recorder memory card until you can recover your files safely!
You may try some recovery software to rescue the video files on your recorder, here are some for your option.
Photo Video Music Recovery (for Windows)
Photo Video Music Recovery for Mac
Both programs can also recover video and music.
Note: Before your files are recovered, do not attempt to save more files to the camcorder in case the original files(your recordings) are overwritten.
It sounds like you've not chosen a right data recovery program. So, if you really want to get all these photos and videos, I would like recommend you to use a data recovery freeware that has helped many people around me retrieve their needed files back from a memory card or hard drive:

I believe this freeware also can deeply scan your camcorder and get back all your needed photos back successfully.
You can read more detailed information of this freeware here:

Note:
Next time, no matter what has happened, you should never forget to back up everything important on different memory cards or drives.

You should connect your camcorde to PC as removable drive. Then you can try to recover your videos with Easy Drive Data Recovery software:http://www.munsoft.com/EasyDriveDataReco... It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.
