5 tools to repair corrupt AVI files from Windows

repair damaged AVI video files

It has happened to many of us at least once in our lives that we have downloaded an interesting video from the Internet and it is corrupted.

This is not strange or surprising, although this situation could be due to a large number of aspects that do not necessarily imply that said video file has been hosted in such a condition. If it has an AVI formatNext, we will suggest the use of 5 tools that you can use to try to repair said file.

This is our first alternative, which has a fairly simple interface to handle and in which the user only has to choose the small button to open the file explorer and later, choose the corrupted AVI file.

If the AVI file is repaired with this tool, you will have to go to the place where the one that you downloaded from the Internet is located and that theoretically is damaged, where it will also be the one the tool has been repaired but with a different name.

A second alternative that we could use to repair corrupt (damaged) AVI files is this one, which unfortunately can be found on the developer's website in the «paid version». There is a small trick that you can adopt to try to recover the repaired file with this same tool.

remo-repair-avi

First of all, you must import the file into the Remo Repair AVI interface for the tool to start playing it, appearing at the end a message asking the user if you want to repair it or not. This could involve having to activate the application if we have acquired the license. Advantageously there is a little trick to adopt, which contemplates the task of having to make a folder visible found inside the installation directory (which has the name "$ tp") and inside which should be the repaired AVI file.

With this alternative, many people may feel comfortable, due to the fact that the user interface is one of the easiest and simplest to control.

digital-video-repair

The only thing we need to do is choose the file that we want to analyze and that theoretically is damaged. Subsequently, the place where we want the repaired file to stay. At the bottom of the interface of this tool there is a button that says "Check Errors", which we must press to start trying to repair our damaged AVI file.

Although this tool has the same objective as those mentioned above, but with it we will have the possibility of import to multiple files that we consider, that they are damaged.

The repair process will be carried out "in batch", the tool being a great advantage if at a certain moment we download a large number of files and all of them, reported some kind of error in playback. The interface of this tool is more complex than those mentioned above, because with it you can eliminate the list, add more files, analyze only the errors and of course, the button that will allow us to repair the AVI file (or files) damaged.

The interface shown by this tool is more attractive than those mentioned above. This is primarily due to the fact that this alternative actually comes to be a media player, place where we must import the AVI file that is theoretically corrupt.

Kmplayer

It does not matter if the file is damaged because this tool, will play it from beginning to end or at least, to those parts of the video that have not been affected. Something similar to this tool does Gom Player, a multimedia player that does not need any type of Codecs to make the video display.

With all these alternatives that we have mentioned, you can now choose any of them and start trying to repair or play those videos with AVI format that you may have downloaded from the Internet and later, you found out that they were corrupt.
