So looks like according the stack overflow link from @hades@lemm.ee above, your files are individually encrypted. Based on the solution comment, there should be a .MetaEcfsFile with the Samsung file encryption metadata in the SD card root directory if this is true. If so, you would likely need to plug the SD card into a Samsung phone (unclear if it needs to be original phone, same model, or just Samsung in general) and use the “Biometrics and security” menu to hopefully decrypt the SD card. If you still have a newer Samsung galaxy, I’d try with that one first before attempting to locate an older model. And if that doesn’t work, it might require the original phone. Backup SD before doing any of this.

Yeah basically. It doesn’t try to record a single laser pulse interacting with the scene in one shot, but rather slightly adjusts its shutter offset to record another identical pulse in a slightly later position. Since the pulses are basically the same each time, the light will interact the same way with the stationary scene and you can reconstruct the movie from there. You can watch videos by searching 1 trillion FPS camera since that was how it was labeled by pop-science at the time.
Is this like that one that was able to film photons in slow by just filming a very short laser pulse at a slightly different time each frame? That was a cool concept, I’ll have to look more at this one
Heard it had a pop up in the front cover of Linus reaching off the page and slapping the reader saying just that
Hmm, that’s a new theory I haven’t heard. It sounds pretty plausible so I’ll be interested to see if it plays out like that.
Ahh, fair enough. Missed that bit
I feel like they’d have made more money by licensing their patent to Apple rather than trying to sell a watch for a ridiculous $999 price tag. I’m not saying they were wrong for their patent lawsuit, and it’s nice to see that small companies can still win, but I just don’t see this early product getting enough sales for them to profit.
Looking a bit further, it seems your only luck would be with your original device since the encryption probably relies on some hardware specific keys. Samsung’s guide says even factory resetting the original phone prior to decrypting would be enough to make the SD card unreadable.
