Repairing a file...

[Goodsoulette]

I have a video file that cant be played. I think its something I recorded at a gig a while back but can't play it. Is there anything I can run it through to see if I can get working again?

there are utils for fixing corrupt movies ... but maybe an easier way is gom player

its small, simple .... and designed for this job

you absolute star. I was chuffed to bits, like getting a little presie when I open that.

How would I repair it to send it someone for bootlegging purposes?

glad you like

dunno on the second part - you don't give the file type ... and I don't have experience with this type of media fixing

try googling fix mpeg or fix avi file

or try this
