In the past people have had this issue where they accidentally didn’t stop recording before powering off their drone.
Each time the solution has been to :

• put the card back into the drone
• power up
• download the full-res version of the video to their phone/tablet
• transfer the file from their phone/tablet to their computer.

this one worked… many thanks again to everyone who read and replied, you guys are the best !!
