YOURE A LIFESAVER OMG 🙏🙏🙏 i had a 7 hour obs recording that i lost due to a crash last night and this is quite literally the only thing thats worked 😭 thank you so much for your help!!

[@SkilledLT]

wow, no words can thank you enough my friend... very important two hour screen recording of snipping tool got corrupted. and you were my last hope... just thank you!

[@MANU-de8zz]

6 hours of driving timelapse on a place i will never be able to drive again saved thanks to you, never explained so good in any other site, infinitely thanks.

[@Doi931122]

You're a life saver! For those who couldnt do it the first time, I did these : 1. Changed a different "good" video file from the same camera/phone 2. remove the .mp4 extensions

[@matt_reverb]

Man i'm completely non-tech-savvy but this was so helpful and so easy to follow along, huge thanks!! Awesome!! Also you went straight to the core with no unnecessary introductions or other bs, youtube needs more tutorials like yours!!

[@Aaronfire7]

Thank you so much!!! The video works flawlessley and the audio, whilst a little broken, works fine! I've managed to figure out how to repair the audio fully so I'm going to that but MAN was it easier to recover it easier than other people online were saying!

how did you repair the audio my good friend?

[@Aaronfire7]

[@TitanPolar]

Thanks Alotttt, you saved all my work i spent on recording a video! thanks soooo much

[@PowerJugs]

Thank you for this, I'd have had no chance without this video. I had an .mov file that needed recovering as the camera ran out of battery so the last file was corrupted. I made a copy and renamed them as above using the .mp4 extension name instead of .mov and it worked flawlessly.

[@esucll]

After so many useless videos, HERE is one that actually works. Thanks man

[@minirru]

Thank you so much man! You just saved me! I am a videomaker and my HDD just died. The only backup I had was in an SD card with a bunch of corrupted files. Now I can get back to work! Thanks again!!

This was AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video with actual free resources! It took me a while to correctly follow all of the steps (I'm not the most savvy with back end computer stuff) but this video was easy to follow and the result was worth it in the end. 2 hours of gaming footage recovered! I will link your video when it post! Thank you again!

[@sazenV16]

My computer encountered a blue screen while using Nvidia GeForce recording some gameplay with friends and crazy enough this solution worked for me to recover that video. However in VLC and windows media player, the audio will start then just cut out. I played the original audio filed that was split during the one step that broke the file into a video and a audio file and it was just really choppy which is probably why it won't play in the final result video. Otherwise, this was a great solution. I was able to at least recover the footage and could have a good laugh later listening to use in that choppy audio. Thanks for your hard work.

[@charlotte170393]

Thank you.. Crashed my drone into the sea, it sank to 15m. Recovered it after about 20mins (obviously the drone didnt survive) and the last mp4 on the usb card was corrupt.. This tutorial sprang it back to life. Thanks again

[@LelyakMaxim]

I guess it was supposed to work for a camera video, but it kind of worked for me with Geforce experience recording. There are a lot of errors in the cmd on the last step telling me that there is some feature not implemented in the FFmpeg yet. No sound, though. Just for a moment, there is a little corrupted sound, and that's all. But it is better than nothing at all. Especially in my case, where the video was more important than audio. Thank you very much. If I would like to, i guess I could combine audio and video together using other software, because I gave it a second and third try and found out that depending on the good video I can get either sound or video. It's been an hour or so for me before I found this video, while the closest one before was with pretty bad sound but with no video at all. So once again, thanks and worked well with Geforce Experience corrupted 7h video

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, I had a similar process like 20 years ago. Unfortunatly it didnt fix the issue I have with an action camera not saving an important file, I used a raw extraction to get the video files but they dont play. I figured because the file was not finalized this would be the fix, but even my 8 GB file turns into a 200MB file after this process and I get like 2 seconds of audio and no video. Still though a good skill to have and a good video.

[@Creating_Space]

if your file is 8gb, I wouldn't give up on it. There may be another method of recovery that would work. Sorry This video wasn't helpful!

Wanna Ask Something, Do I Have to Bring a Random Good Video?

[@Creating_Space]

the good video needs to be from the same camera/same settings as the bad file, since the program will copy the video settings over to the corrupt file. The good file is needed to be able to interpret the bad file.

Thank you Sir. Does this work with multiple at a time or should you do each individually?

[@Creating_Space]

I would do them individually. It is a resource intensive task, so I think the operation is quicker doing them one at a time. If you have a lot to do though, you may want to type out the commands so you can just copy and paste them each time.
