Please is this applicable to all files including video files. Most especially AVCHD video files like .mts, .mt2s and the likes.

"Hi Nuel,

The software supports list of audio and video file types for recovery. All you need is at least 5 similar files whose file types you want to add for recovery.

And yes, the software supports AVCHD video file types of recovery. Do follow all the steps mentioned in the KB articles and reply back if you're facing any problems. I'd be happy to assist you further.

Thanks."
