camtasia recording. so pi**ed right now

I was recording the whole nesmarathon hosted by Pat the nes punk, when I clicked stop at the end it counted uup all the way to a 100 making an 18GB file. no probs with that. After that I shouldve copied the files to another folder, cause THEY VANISHED. I've managed to recover using some kind of recovery software a 3,8GB file which is supposedly 18hours long. The problem is it just doesn't recognize it as an AVI file. Any help trying to recover it?

 

Wrong forum sir

What program are you using to play the avi file? Last time I tried winamp with Avi files it was all fucked up and sometimes wouldn't play. Try VLC maybe?

 

I'm using VLC. It says it's not an avi file so I guess it needs a header of some sorts.

 

Could always try renaming it and ending it with .avi if that fails a converter might work.

 

It is an avi file

 

Don't some file systems gave a limit on file sizes? I think fat32 has a limit of 4gb, as do other factors etc etc
