Optio S50 - corrupted .AVI

Posted 01/10/2009 - 18:19 Link
Does anyone out there know how to fix a corrupted video clip ? I have tried some of the freeware .AVI fixing programmes, but none of them have worked. They tell me that the file is not an .AVI file which leads me to conclude that it is corrupted in some way. However, I have used a file recovery program and that does find lots of frames from the missing video clip. Any ideas or is it gone for good ?

If I recall correctly, doesn't the Optio %%) record video in Quicktime format?

If so, try Quicktime to confirm this, use a converter to swap formats.

Try changing the file extension to .mov

Optio s50 definitely records .AVI - I've had one go like this before, but I was able to fix it with a freeware file fixer. I suspect this one may be corrupted beyond 'easy' fixing and will probably require detailed knowledge of how .AVI files are laid out internally. Does anyone know where I could get more info on .AVI files
