SD card recovery...

One of my SD cards seems to have given up before I could transfer a video off it.

Anyone have actual experience of a decent free utility that works?

Yes. Photorec is very good.

Sandisk data rescue, however it will need to be able to see it.

Recuva works just fine.

I've recovered my 16GB card from the GoPro using GetDataBack Thumbs Up

Ok,

Tried a few of these now...

recuva doesn't see the disk at all.
GetDataBack makes a valiant effort by scanning everything and then not finding anything.
Corrupted SD card recovery pro seems to do the same as get data back
data rescue (kinda by SanDisk) takes forever, I'll have to run it all day tomorrow. Seems to produce some results when I cancelled it though.

Not had it with SD but lost 16gid cf card with wedding photos, had to send it away to get chips removed and cost me £200.

Can I suggest making a backup first using something like ddrescue then you can run the recovery programs against the image. That way you have less chance of screwing the card up and losing it forever.

I recently "lost" a stack of pictures "Undelete 360" got all but two back. This was however after a computer crash during downloading and deleting the files from a card.
