^ mate MPC aka media player classic, doesn't fix a corrupt avi file, it just plays it

sometimes when i encounter these errors i simply convert them to some other format using Format Factory (or similar converter). most of the time it gets fixed.

yes. most of the time. with format factory either you get a fully working file or the conversion will fail and there won't be any output. i do this for media files recovered from friend's formatted pendrive :p

A.fully working file
B.failed conversion
C.Partial working file (will be converted to a particular time line) :mrgreen:

only once this happened. a 1hr30min video gave a ~1hr video as the latter part was corrupted.
