Heres what happened:

I recorded a video of my main getting 99 mining with Unregistered HyperCam, it saved the video as clip0011, It was supposed that It had to add a sequential number for not overwriting it, but for some reason it didnt, so it overwrote the video, So the help I need is that I need to know if there is any way of recovering the video since it had to delete it and it must have moved it somewhere, or if I can find it anywhere like in a Cookies archieve or something similar, I really want to recover it, I tried opening the folder where it was supposed to save it and pressed ctrl-z and it said it couldnt find the archieve because It must have been moved to another location. :confused:

Somebody told me that everything that is written on the hard disk will always be there , even if its erased from the pc. So I would love to know the way to recover the missing video if any of you can help please.

One thing I can say, is use camtasia studio 5 much better quality and very low value of mb file(lol).
And 99 mining nice! i wouldn't auto anymore if i was you because if you auto all your accounts can get banned

I think the way it works is the data will stay on your HDD... UNLESS the part of the disk has been overwritten.

So the question is how bad do you want it?

It could take some time to recover it, but im sure googling will help you find some programs to use

Good Luck!

Yeah I got camtasia studio 5 , Fraps and Hypercam, I setted Camtasia correctly and now it works really good , thanks for the advice, Im still mad about the video , It was so cool , but NO! the stupid Hypercam had to overwrite it!, ffs...,

Anyways I still need to set up Camtasia so when its recording It doesnt slow the game that much , so the video flows smoothly, so whats the best?
Heres how I got It setted:

- It records it as a file of type .camrec //not very sure wich is better
-Screen Capture Frame Rate [ 10 ]
-Normal Screen capture mode (recommended one)
-Tech Smith Video Compressor // not sure which is better
-Compression quality is like [FasterCompression--------^--BetterCompression ] 80% to the right, 1 move before 100%
-Key frame every 100 frames

Can the format .camrec later be transformed to mpg or something that is more Universal? or can .avi vids recorder with camtasia also be edited?

You can recover it with one of those programs that recover deleted files probably.

not sure if this would work but its worth a try
if u ran the movie in windows media player then u might be able 2 get it back

i think theres a lost document recovery thing in windows media player

it should be under file

i dont know if u can resave it but if u cant just vid the video lol

I don't know of any programs off hand, but I *do* know that if you're totally serious about this, you'll take your hard drive out of your PC and put it in another one to recover the data. The data's there, but marked "not in use" (to put it simply), so any action you perform has a chance of overwriting it, especially downloading new programs and running them to try to recover files. Annyoing, I know :(

Anyways, I doubt your video's worth all that effort to you (as awesome as it was). It could be faked convincingly with a lot less work :D

try norton ghost once files are deleted they don't get wiped they over written so if you haven't written over it then its still in your hard drive somewhere hopefully
