It might be possible for a forensic (not necessarily the police labs) laboratory to recover a small part of your lost footage but it would be excruciatingly expensive and quality not guaranteed to be any good.
For all intents and purposes you've lost it. In future always knock out the tab on the back your VHS cassettes for recordings you want to keep.
If you want to secure material on DVD then be sure that you've recorded it onto DVD-R or DVD+R not on any RW disc. Also be sure that you've 'finalised' it.

Sorry to say it's wiped. Break the tabs off any other tapes that you have, to prevent this happening again. Additionally, video tapes will degrade over time, I recommend that you copy them to DVD's before they start to fade.

I'm afraid there's nothing u can do, but try to transfer as many of ur surviving videos to DVD before they decay or are taped over.
