Surely on more than one occasion you have recorded a super important moment in your life on video and when you wanted to see it at home, you couldn’t and you started hyperventilating… My God, it doesn’t open! And now what do I do? Earth swallow me!
Since we don’t want this to repeat itself and give you a headache again, we are going to explain how to repair it. Because a damaged or corrupted video cannot stop your life in its tracks..
Come on, let’s get to the point…
File types
Ummm… Wait a moment… Before we get into explaining how to repair it, we should know what type of video file do we have because the solutions may be different. Although they may sound Chinese to you, the most common formats are:
Why can’t I see it well?
Wait, it doesn’t hurt to know the causes that could have ruined your video. The normal thing is that strange error codes appear that no one understandsthat you see the images well but you don’t hear anything at all, that the screen is blacker than a firebrand, that the video flashes a lot or stops every now and then.
If your file has suffered any of these symptoms, it is clear that you have been unlucky and, indeed, it is damaged or corrupt. But don’t worry, everything has a solution (or almost everything).
How do I fix it?
Now yes. Let’s get to the crux of the matter. If you search on Google, you will see that there are a lot of tools to repair them. We recommend the easiest ones to use (some of which are paid), so that your life doesn’t go away.
1- Wondershare Video Repair
It is available for Mac and Windows operating systems and you don’t need a master’s degree to know how to use it. You don’t have to pay anything to download it but, if you read the fine print, you will see that you will have to spend around 40 euros to have the license to use it. It’s not much, but maybe enough to put you off. Breathe… the following are cheaper and even free options! Do not suffer…
2- Kernel Video Repair
It is super easy to use and offers different tools depending on the format (it supports all existing and future files). Besides, It is compatible with all versions of Windows. It is also paid but less than Wondershare, about 25 euros. What you save.
3- VLC Media Player
It is free and has a functionality to automatically repair damaged video. To activate it, open the player and follow these steps:
- Click Tools > Preferences > Input/Codecs > Files > Damaged or Incomplete AVI File > Always Repair from the drop-down menu. Zero complicated, right?
4- Yodot
It is paid but you can download it and try it without spending a cent. It also allows you to choose the tool based on the file format and quickly repairs videos created on mobile, handheld or high-definition cameras. It doesn’t matter what you recorded it with, for Yodot that doesn’t matter.
Well, now you know what to do if it happens to you again. One less problem. Because at we make it simple for you.
