Easy way to fix .MPG or .AVI video files? VLC doesn't play files

[212121]

Hi, i don't know much about video and codecs and whatever, i just use VLC and i can play anything with no problems, but i'm having some problems with incomplete files or with files where frames are skipped

I'm looking for a software to FIX broken files, to makes the video play all in order, i got 600MB+ files where i can only view some minutes of video

I'm also looking for something easy to use, no video editing software or whatever, something where i can load the file and just fix it, if it's possible

I already got G Spot to identify codecs but it also finds some problems in the files... but won't fix them

Thanks all for the help

Although you have the full file size due to pre-allocation and not sparsing, most of the bits are zeros. You can view some of the video due to having some I frames, but are missing most of the I, P or B frames.

Take a look at some of these programs:

The best way to fix videos is VirtualDub.

It's not that difficult to figure out. Just click yes and let him reparsing the file. It can take a few minutes. When it's open, select Video ==> Direct Stream Copy. Then Save Avi, save under another name.
