Best Video Recovery Software

Best Video Recovery Software

Our computers with their hard drives contain our treasure trove of information & data, be it a goofy video of your friends, that precious progress of a game you have been grinding on for months, or an invaluable document from your boss. You never know when you might accidentally hit delete, your drive was corrupted by a virus, even with preventive measures in place, accidents do happen. If something like this happens to you, worry not, we have got you covered with our list of the most trustworthy video recovery software on the market.

Before you download any of those it’s better if you know how they work. Assume your computer has an AI (Artificial Intelligence) system like J.A.R.V.I.S from the MARVEL movies, (Please contact me if you do own one) when you download a file or transfer a video into your computer’s drive, it stores them in its vaults (sectors). Now when you lose a file, the data of that file is intact (except if you overwrite the data), but the position of the vault gets erased from the system (much like how J.A.R.V.I.S was corrupted by Ultron). This software sifts through your PC’s drive, finds the file you are looking for & restores it to its position. Here is the list of the best video recovery tools for Windows & Mac as promised

1. CrashPlan

Instead of just allowing you to recover your video files, Crashpan offers a cloud backup storage service that will allow you to easily sync your video files and restore them whenever necessary. The paid version has unlimited cloud storage for all your videos & files. It is fantastic for small businesses as you can connect all your computers & servers on a single account, what’s more, is that each device has unlimited cloud storage. This allows you to create multiple backups of all your files on the internet or on different hard drives. Basically, it allows you to create a full-proof defense against accidental deletions or ransomware attacks. Just something to consider is the huge amount of time it takes to upload your data to these cloud servers.

2. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

Much like Gandalf, EaseUS is a pro, it can easily help you to recover your lost or deleted files. This easy-to-use software is available for both Windows & Mac. It comes with a fast deep scan function that lets you preview the files without making you wait & is one of the advanced software on the market for the job. If you have already tried other software but couldn’t get back your file, EaseUs might be your last best choice, although keep in mind that not all data is recoverable. The paid version is expensive enough but the edge it has to other similar software, can’t be simply ignored.

3. Stellar Data Recovery

With their simple interface & promising results, it is indeed a stellar choice you can make to recover your lost files from the nameless void of your drive. Stellar data recovery tool provides you with quick efficient scans of any storage device you want. It is available for both Windows & Mac with a quick installation setup. If your lost file is deeply hidden in your drive you may have to wait for a considerable amount of time as the deep scan function has a lengthy process but definitely gets the work done.

4. Recuva Pro

Recuva is quite cheap compared to other software on the list, so if your wallet seems lighter than usual it would be a great choice. Its efficient scans are time friendly & draw out relatively less processing power from your computer allowing you to go through the day & do your tasks while it works behind the scenes. Although it is only available for windows. Recuva also supports data recovery from VHDs (virtual hard drives), plus it has a decent overwrite tool to make sure your sensitive information is deleted for life.

5. Wise Data Recovery

Wise Data Recovery is one of the free tools on the market. To access new updates & to engage with customer support you need to upgrade to the paid version. In extreme cases such as a damaged hard drive, you are better off using other paid software service to ensure the retrieval of your files. It is best for Windows as it covers almost all file types but doesn’t support the exFAT file format of Mac. To be fair it delivers the expected results of free software and is great for video recovery.

6. Wondershare Recoverit

While it may take a larger time in recovering big files, it offers great results in file recovery, multiple backup options & can repair multiple file formats. The filter function can help you look for a specific data type & save you some time. If this is your first time recovering lost data they have admirable customer support for your additional questions because the interface may be a little complicated so beginners may have a hard time figuring it out.

7. Prosoft Data Rescue 5

Promising great results, with a faster scan & an easy-to-understand interface this software is a cross-platform service i.e. once you have the premium version you can use it on both Windows & Mac using the same account. A filter option & file preview are definitely noteworthy features of this software. It is an energy & time-efficient recovery tool. Although it does not provide data loss prevention methods like backup it definitely has its own stand in the market.

8. Recover my files

Being one of the oldest recovery software options still available in the market since its launch in 2002 makes a statement for itself. This is a Windows-only tool for recovering lost & deleted video or files. It combines simple interface use along with a filter option to search for specific file types. The major drawbacks are that it does not modify the scanned drive so you would have to savage your files into another drive. It is also not energy efficient for deep scans as it requires high CPU use, so it might not work well if you have an older generation PC.

9. IBeesoft Data Recovery

IBeesoft Data Recovery supports a hard drive, SD card & even USBs. For drive recovery, you can expect it to retrieve even your partition & RAW drives. Recovery of most of the corrupted, deleted & failed drives are some of its promising features. The only trouble is that the deep scanning is quite slow & files need to be stored into another drive as it doesn’t overwrite the data which is being scanned.

10. OnTrack EasyRecovery

OnTrack EasyRecovery has a powerful interface for its users. Many of its features include support of all the formats of video & file. Its premium edition is especially remarkable as it helps you repair corrupted videos & photos as well. It has multiple paid versions & the prices go up according to what you are looking for.

All this compiled information is sure to help you make an informed decision about which software to choose for your video or file recovery according to your needs. It’s always best to keep in mind that video & file recovery is never an assured thing despite all the hard work you may put into it, sometimes the data might be too damaged to be restored.
