Re: NEED HELP FOR MAKING INCOMPLETE XVID FILE VIEWABLE

Hi,

I'm not sure whether you're using Windows or Linux,
but you could try with mencoder if the file is
playable with mplayer (although it's more linux based,
you can get a windows version of mplayer as well, if
required).

Try:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o NewFile.avi
DamagedFile.avi

(and make sure there's no file called "frameno.avi" in
your working directory beforehands.)

Sometimes it works for correcting damaged avi files.

Hello Folks, 

I do have one Xvid file that is not complete. 50MB
missing from 700MB file and beginning chunk of the
file is not available while end chunk is. 

This file is not playing anywhere. It is a rare one
and the source disappeared long ago. And I promised to
get it for a friend of mine. 

Now, I know the file is correct because I can get
static views of it from Edwatch and the content is
what I want. 

Resolution is 576x320 as output by Edwatch which I
believe is correct since the static preview image is
just fine. 

I tried all repair tools and none worked. 

In summary: 

Resolution: 576x320 
Codec: Xvid 
Framerate: Unknown 
Contents: Static preview shows the images properly
(and it is the file I want). 
File size: 700MB 
Available: 650MB 
Last 30MB of the file is available. 
Beginning is not. 

Avipreview, avipreviewc, etc. all tried. None works.
Files needs some binary do ctoring with your
assistance. 

Can someone tell me how to salvage the contents of
this file and make it watchable? Anything and
everything you can think of would be great help to me.


Many thanks for your time in advance.
