I used PhotoRec
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
This recovered each video file as two separate MOV files, one large followed by one small. The large file is the actual video and sound, while the small file is the header.
To make these two files into a single MOV file (which can be played) in Windows use:
1. Start a console window (Start - Run, then enter "cmd")
2. In the console window go to the correct directory (for example C:, followed by cd directory)
3. Enter the command:
type small.mov big.mov > video.mov
Where small.mov and big.mov are the recovered files, and video.mov is the desired output file.
Alternatively use a hex editor sich as HxD (available for FREE from http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ ) to merge the files.
BTW, make sure to test play the output file before erasing anything.
