Downloading.
If you could also share a few of the recovered files, that may be useful too.
Also, I hope you have the correct signature file, because I updated it one time, shortly after I uploaded first version. For completeness sake I attached it again to this message.
CR3-R6.rar
I suggest to try it, recover like 10 CR3 files and check those. What you have there sounds like my previous version and although these files are very easy to repair, it's still not what we want ..
Carved DMDE samples uploaded, new scan with updated ini in progress.

Yup, just a tad too large, if I truncate file at right point it's viewable and intact. Check PM sent some repaired examples.

Tried with disk image you shared. For me it works, I get intact CR3's.

Yes! Scanned with Joep`s updated INI and it worked, almost all Canon R6 CR3`s are readable under Viewer / RAWDigger etc.
BUT
another thing is that they`re not opening in Lightroom (which in fact is a must for every RAW pro user), original samples (not carved) are opened without problems. I`m now looking for walk around solution (conversion to DNG or smtn).

Davey

Could you post the first and last sectors of a good file and a carved file?

Joep is a beast in this arena. He is pretty much the goto guy for data recovery professionals around the world when it comes to dealing to damaged image files.

This is a working file (A55A8928.CR3):
Code: Select all

0001DDF0 00000001 6D646174 00000000 007FDE66 ....mdat......Þf
The size of the mdat atom is 0x7FDE66. This corresponds to the range from offset 0x1DDF0 to 0x81BC55.
Code: Select all

This is a partially-working carved file (f938081352.CR3):
Code: Select all
Offset(h) 00 04 08 0C
000A35F0 00000001 6D646174 00000000 01D8F866 ....mdat.....Øøf
The size of the mdat atom is 0x1D8F866. This should correspond to the range from offset 0xA35F0 to 0x1E32E55. Instead the file ends at 0x1E32E54.
Code: Select all

Therefore ISTM that the .ini file should be tweaked to correctly calculate the size of the mdat atom, assuming that is even possible. Otherwise you could carve an additional sector, and then write a tool to truncate the carved .CR3 file to its correct size (is that in fact what you are doing?).

Agreed.
