John AS 0 Report post Posted February 15 Trying to recover jpg files from CD burned 8 years ago. The full size jpg files are on the CD but Windows 10 reports file format not supported. I have tried several different multi format viewers but no luck. Any suggests would be appreciated. Corel support has not been helpful thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimicher 132 Report post Posted February 15 If you cannot display the jpgs via any viewer then of course Corel will not be able to help. Can you copy any of the files from the CD to your hard drive? Can you attach one of the jpg files to a post so we can we it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John AS 0 Report post Posted February 15 Thanks for the quick reply. See attached small jpg file from the opf file folder for the flip album I created years ago. I had to place in zip file as I could not attach the jpg directly. example.zip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John AS 0 Report post Posted February 15 I'm remembering now. Created the album with bundled software that came with the PC . Burnt the CD with Roxio. Taking apart the cfg files appears the bundled software was FlipAlbum. I'm guessing there data in the header file of the jpg. Need a more robust multiformat viewer.

cdanteek 226 Report post Posted February 15 Your FlipAlbum software altered a .jpg where I can't open it and you tell me I "Need a more robust multiformat viewer" to view a .jpg! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendon 204 Report post Posted February 16 John AS Here is the contents of the first part of your file which downloaded and unzipped without error. It is followed by a similar display of a JPG that I just made. The Hex contents and address are shown on the left in each case, with the ASCII display on the right. As you can see, your file is rather chaotic, while mine shows an orderly JFIF header. It appears that your FlipAlbum software has changed (perhaps encrypted) the JPG. You're reading the CD fine so Creator worked properly, but Windows can't interpret the altered JPG files. Regards, Brendon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John AS 0 Report post Posted February 17 Thanks for checking Brendon. I think my only remaining path is to edit the control file and see if I can enable the save as option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimicher 132 Report post Posted February 17 (edited) I don't know what your posted file is supposed to be but it sure can't be jpg file with a size of only 42kb. What control file are you trying to edit? What are the files names on the CD where you got the file? Edited February 17 by bimicher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jpeg's can easily be resized from MB's to kb's, this .jpg is only 25.5kb in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
