Corrupted movie files

[Captain John Miller]

I had a hard drive go south on me but before it really got bad I managed to copy some of the files and also managed to retrieve a deleted partitions files.

The files are now recovered but some work and some do. When I try to load the ones that are corrupted it brings me up an error saying the file extension is wrong using WMP and says would I liek to open it anyways.

Doesnt work when I open it, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play."

I recall there was some kinda proggie that would fix these, or am I mistaken. The other files seem to be ok, just the movie files are bad.

VirtualDub.


That is if they are AVIs. Then you can do a direct stream copy without having to re-encode.
