I wish and hope there is a programe that does recover corrupt files out there somewhere!
As has been said already, file recovery programs are not capable of recovering corrupted data, only "deleted" data. Corruption is quite a different issue. If the data of the file is truncated, shifted or otherwise moved/lost you won't get it back as the FAT or NTFS tables won't have been updated.
