What is sample file and how to get them?
A sample file is a working video or photo file created from the same device having the same file format as the corrupted video(s) or photo(s).
Ontrack EasyRecovery uses sample file information, such as format, encoding, bitrate, FPS, and resolution details to repair severely corrupt video files.
Likewise, Ontrack EasyRecovery Photo uses file type, resolution, ISO, and other details from the sample file to repair corrupt photo files.
How to get a Sample File?
For example, if you have corrupted MOV videos/ JPEG photos shot from Nikon Z 8 camera, to create a sample file, use the same camera to shoot a new video or picture in the same format as the corrupted one.
