Is there a software out there for windows, which can repair broken mov files?
VEAI crashed and video can’t be played in VLC or MPC, it’s also not recognised in Handbrake or VirtualDub with FFmpeg plugin, neither can it be repaired with programs like Wondershare RepairIt (which I read is capable of). Any ideas?
It comes with a Free version; so, just try it out.
Personally, I doubt it will do any good. .mov headers are only added when VEAI is done. But, more importantly, what will do you with, say, 3/4th of a crash-recovered movie? You could use AviSynth to start at a certain frame, and then splice things together; but honestly, in the time it took you to write the post, and wait a day for a response, having redone the job for it woud likely already have been done by now.
Old thread but people like me are gonna find it via Google. If you have a broken “temp” ProRes file, use UnTrunc … Just tried it and it works. Dump a little preview file using the same settings as the broken MOV file, and set that in the UnTrunc GUI as the “reference”.
If VLC, HandBrake, VirtualDub, and Wondershare RepairIt aren’t working, your MOV file might be seriously corrupted. You could try FFmpeg with ffmpeg -i corrupted.mov -c copy fixed.mov to remux it, which sometimes fixes minor issues. If that doesn’t help, Recover MPr or Grau GmbH Video Repair might work, but they usually need a reference file from the same camera or software. If the file won’t even copy, Roadkil’s Unstoppable Copier could help recover readable parts. More repair tips are . If all else fails, pro recovery software might be the only way to go.
