[QUOTE="McCallister, post: 1817961, member: 402278"] Thanks for the advice. I dodged a bullet. That same friend luckily knows his stuff. He remoted onto my mac since he lives out of state, installed windows VM, tinkered some, ran recovery software in VM, linked folder paths from vm to mac, then transferred the files onto drives I had that I knew worked on my Mac. Took 5 hrs but worked. Sounds like he thought drive was formatted prior to putting footage on drive, but still really had Mac formatting and somehow placed FAT32 on top of that..? I'd have been screwed otherwise so props to all you people who understand all this stuff better than I. [/QUOTE]
