From the error I can tell that there is a messed up jpeg marker, but I haven't a clue to what markers are legit and what aren't. (obviously it doesn't like 0x51...)
What say the gurus? Anyone every solved something like this before?
have you tried photorec http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
Thanks Togan, I'll give it a go. On first look, it looks like it is more of a deleted file recovery system as opposed to a graphic file repair utility. From the description, it will look for specific jpeg markers in order to find a deleted jpg: <quote> For example, PhotoRec identifies a JPEG file when a block begins with: 0xff,0xd8,0xff,0xe0 0xff,0xd8,0xff,0xe1 or 0xff,0xd8,0xff,0xfe </quote> I think the 'files' are actually OK, I just think I have either corrupted jpg headers or possible the actual scan data. What I really need is a tool that can examine the different parts of a jpg file and see if it can detect/repair inconsistencies between the header/compression information and the scan (data) section of the image. All ideas or welcome! I'll post a summary of what I find as I get through this process. -- David C.
