  1. Help with corrupted video file


    I did some filming on my gopro and i edited it all together into a 19gb movie using windows photos. I saved it to a portable hard drive but now I can't do anything with it. I am trying to coopy it onto my hard drive and it works fine but then at 45% the write speed goes to zero and it just stops. The portable hard drive has no other issues and my hard drive is not full. Is there any way I can save this file? It's a whole day of filming :

    :)

  2. Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.

  3. How do you fix corrupted media files, I have a video on my computer that can't be played

    Hi Thomason,

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • How exactly are you trying to access the video files on your computer?
    • What exactly happens when you try to access video files?
    • What is the complete error message/ error code of this issue?

    I suggest you to run a SFC scan and check if it helps.

    System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Note: If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to
    fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log %WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log”. Under the section “Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)” to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan.

    Refer: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of accessing the video files for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    • Have you made any software or hardware changes prior to this issue?
    • What is the build number and version of your Windows?
