For some reason a few clusters of my video were overwritten by the thumbs.db file.
I used the software "Recuva" to get the video off my phone's card and onto my PC.
I see that others have had this problem but no one has come up with a working solution.
Someone suggested using a hex editor to fill in the missing pieces, is that possible?

I've seen software available that may help, but I can't risk installing some unknown potentially dangerous program on my machine. If anyone has a program that they have been using for some time without problems that would do what I need then please let me know.

Thanks

Here is the info that Recuva gave me:
