Hi friends. After "accidentally" erasing the only copy I had of a shoot (yeah, Sean Ruggeri, that one...) thinking I had it backed up at home - not... I was able to recover most of the R3D files using Wondershare. Now I have a whole drive full of .R3Ds and some .RMDs and I have tried to put them into individual folders to emulate the file folder structure of the Redmag. The problem I'm finding is that I'm getting exactly one frame in playback although the majority of files are 4GB in size. Are there hidden files that need to be built into the folder structure? (like what is an .rtn?)

I would really love to recover some of these files and I even stored a RCX project so I know which clips I really want to get back. Any thoughts on how to rebuild this is appreciated. Thanks!
 
I'm not positive about rebuilding the structure. But I do know that a .rtn file is a Red ThumbNail file. Used for showing thumbnails when looking at playback in camera.
