I'm looking for suggestions to recover missing video from a B1W. My father in law was involved in a collision however the video of the incident is missing. The videos in the DCIM folder appear as though they were overlapping slightly every 5 minute which I assume is what he had the camera set at so that seems to be as expected. Additionally all the videos in DCIM have incorrect date / time stamp of 2015. There are videos in the event_rec folder with date stamps from 2015-2020 indicating lack of regular formatting or routine time stamp errors.
One of the videos on the card he says was 5 to 10 minutes prior to the incident however it is the last video saved on that day in the DCIM folder and there are no files around the same date / time stamp in the event_rec folder although date stamped 9/18/2015. (I have looked at all the videos regardless of the date time stamp just to make sure it wasn't sitting there.) The following day the camera appears to have been turned on and recorded 3 new files with date stamp of 9/19/2015 for a duration of about 14 minutes total and almost 1GB size. Another few days later the camera was turned on again for about 20 sec and 32MB, date stamped 9/22/2015 and that's the last of the files in the DCIM folder.
I've attempted to recover the missing files with Recuva and Disk Drill without being able to find the sequential video footage that seems to be missing so looking for any suggestions. I know writing back to the card after the incident is a big problem but nothing I can do about it now besides advise him for future. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
