Slightly OT;
(posted here because I thought it somewhat relevant)

If you happen to accidentally delete your images/videos from 
hard disk AND emptied your system trash OR viped your memory 
card:
If you act quickly there are chances that you may recover 
such files with PhotoRec Data Recovery Utility:
<http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec>

It's a low level FOSS application which can read data/files 
outside of filesystem tree (raw disk data), the GUI is 
textual but quite straightforward. In *buntu repositories 
it's part of the TestDisk bundle.

I'm in no way connected to the devs, but this piece of 
software has saved my ass many times, specially with camera 
memory cards.

It also teaches you to never dump or sell your hard disks 
without totally owerwriting them at least 3 times (or use a 
sledgehammer)... ;-)
