Battery died while taking video - Powershot SD1200is

I was taking a video and the battery died. Is my video gone for good or is there anyway to retrieve it?

Thanks!

The buffer is pretty small on that camera so you should be ok up until the time the battery died..maybe a second or two before may be lost

I just recharged the battery and it does not appear to have been saved, since I can't find it.

Any ideas? I really would like to try to recover it.

There are a number of SD card file recovery programs on the internet. SanDisk makes a highly regarded program - fortunately, I've never had to use it. It might be able to help.

Thanks, so far I've tried two different recovery programs and it's not showing up.

I'm not sure what else can do. Hate to say it, but maybe it's gone for good?

Any other ideas or program I should try?

Thanks again for any help.

Sorry, ToniW, that's all I can think of. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Thanks for trying. Much appreciated.

Hopefully someone might have ideas.

I'm still hoping for some help with this.

As I mentioned, this was a one time video that I can't ever repeat.

Could the video still possibly be in the camera (somewhere) ???

Unfortunately it sounds like the video never cleared out of the buffer onto the memory card. If two recovery programs could not find it, I would not hold out much hope at all. Sorry I could not be more encouraging.
