How to Restore MP4 Files from SD Card

I was recently recording a video with a Canon camera. The camera fell in the middle of the recording, the SD card came out, and the recording file was corrupted. The file is now in DAT format and appears to be corrupted. Is it possible to convert this info into an mp4 or MOV file?

The DAT format is not what corrupts your SD card. For example, when you create new profiles, Windows generates an NTUSER.DAT file. This file exists in each profile and deleting it also deletes the profile. And the "REG.DAT" is the registry file for all Windows registries in Windows 3.11. All registry data is stored in the "WINDIR" folder in older versions of Windows. The data saved in this manner is saved in "DAT" files.

So you can repair the mp4 video files and recover your recordings from the SD card. Besides restoring DAT format files to MP4 or MOV files, if the video is constantly chopped off or your video player informs you that the file cannot be played, data corruption may be at fault. Windows users commonly face data corruption; in most cases, individuals remove their corrupted video files and restart. However, several strategies can help you resolve these challenges.
