I tried Bandifix on a large AVI file that plays alright in VLC but chokes in other players at a few minutes in. Bandifix only saved the early portion that is playable in other players. Next I tried the trial version of Remo, an have yet to find an AVI file that does not return “The fie is too large to be processed.” —- worthless in trial form anyway Although these files play most times in VLC I like to convert the files to FLV to save space. I wish VLC would offer option to correct and save the repaired header file. I tried Digitial Video Recorder and the although it did recover the previously unplayable portions of the AVI, the corrupt portions of the video was marred by video spectres and the audio had a monotonous clock tick tick sound? What did work for me: Bandicam recommends if all else fails to use VLC to play the video and re-record with Bandicam Well, all is good until you each the 10-minute limitation on the trial version of Bandicam.

But using VLC to replay and using the original recording SW (Hypercam 2) to re-record using the ‘Region’ function of Hypercam (so I could do this unhindered on a second monitor) I achieved the end goal – a complete AVI fiie I could convert to FLV. Thanks for this article, you fixed my problem. I had an.Avi file that showed absolutely no codec information, video or audio.

Despite this, VLC was still able to play it, with the provision that it rebuild the index first, and which I did. Unfortunately it doesn’t encode this new info in the file, it just does it temporarily for its own purpose. I was looking more to fix the file permanently, not just be able to play it. To make a long story a bit shorter I ran through the first 4 of the 5 tools you presented, and the only one that managed to do what I wanted, which is fix to file permanently as if it never had any problems at all to begin with, was DivFix++, which I got from SourceForge. Rapeplay Game Download here. Rebuilt the index permanently and all codec info is now readable by any tool that can do so. So thx again, very useful article. Too bad DivFix++ wasn’t closer to the top of the list though, heh-heh.:). Download Free Software Ultimate Spider Man Patch From 101 on this page.
