Conrad Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have a load of pics from when I was backpacking around South America. Of all the pics I have, one CD which was burnt for me by a Kodak shop in Buenos Aires is corrupt. The pics are supposed to be jpeg but no program I have recognises them. I can view a thumbnail of the pic in windows but when I try to open a picture or view it in a slideshow it wont open or the majority of the pic is missing. I've attached a link to the file on this thread to see if anybody can do what I clearly can't. Please help somebody, I have 200 pics from BA that are simply irreplaceable, i'd be eternally grateful if anyone knew how to fix them link to file, extract onto your PC: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnqgmcxjemz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Try using a program called irfanview.. http://www.irfanview.com I'd recommend getting the plug in pack as well, it can handle pretty much 99% of everything I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Looking at the link you put up, it appears more like the CD is damaged than the image, the header on the jpg is fine and accurate but the data for the rest of the image is missing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 ive tried but cant do anything with what you have posted up as it says its a jpeg file..... is it one pic or all of them off the cd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean I cant retrieve my pics then? Damn it, I had some class pics too, what I don't understand is that they worked when I first tried the disk. I even uploaded some to myspace whilst in Argentina. I'm guessing the disks got damaged somehow? I have 2 copies of the pics and both disks are the same....

Thanks for trying bud, yeah it's pretty much all the pics except one or two. The Mpeg files that are on the disk are fine though, at least that's something!

That is odd... either the source they used to burn the cd's was knackered, or there may be some quirky kodak anti-copying protection? Is there some viewing software on the disk?

KaoriFan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 if it's a damaged CD i have used Isobuster to recover damaged discs, quite successfully. http://www.isobuster.com/ may be worth a try, not sure if the version for download is the one where you can check the disc, but not recover it. may have to pay for the full version, or check torrents, emule, or newsgroups for a copy. OTOH, Kodak at one time in the past went their own way with their picture formats. not sure though, if they are using regular formats now. ja ne Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was both disks yeah, my mate has the other but I had tried that disk while we were away and had problems with it. The one I'm having probs with now was one I posted home.... Funnily enough I had trouble resizing the pics while I was away but couldn't understand the windows error as it was in Spanis. It seemed like they were copy protected. Just checked the CD though and no software... I think I'll check the other disk then perhaps email Kodak if all else fails. Would be a shame to loose the pics... Thanks anyway Gav..

creative Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 have you tried downloading the kodak viewer? I can get the copy you posted to show but it says its a damaged file... might be better if you do it off the cd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
