Digital Media Converter: Attempt to Repair Media Files

Attempt to Repair Media Files

There are many products that make media files. Sometime these products do not use the standard structure when creating the media file. These files cannot be edited correctly. This tool tries to repair any problems that it might find within such media files.

Using the repair utility you can:

1. Index a WMF File to make it seekable.
2. Retrieve video data from MPEG files with packet synchronization errors, invalid data and missing end of file marker.
3. Correct end of file problems in QuickTime MOV files.

To use the built-in repair utility:

1. On the Tools menu, click Attempt To Repair File.
2. Click Browse button to specify the Source File you want to repair. If a file is selected in the conversion list then that file, by default, is specified as the source file.
3. Click Browse button to specify the Destination File.
4. Click Next to repair the file.
5. Click Cancel if you wish to stop the repair operation.
6. To add the repaired file to the conversion list make sure that the Add repaired file to the conversion list option is checked.
7. Click Finish.

Note:

The repair utility attempts to convert the source file to AVI or in some cases QuickTime. The utility accepts only those files that a media player can play. The process of repairing may result in some loss of data in the repaired file.
