Unreadable MP4 file

Hello,

To repair corrupted (incorrect) files, there are at least two ways to do it:
1) Use software such as: File Repair, Video Repair Software (the free version apparently only repairs half of the file) or something else.
I've never used them so I don't know how well they work, but it's worth a try ;)
2) Use a conversion software as long as it accepts to recognize the file, which is not guaranteed at all. I would suggest trying first with MediaCoder, but another one might also work.
3) Use software to rewrite the header with a hex editor like Hex Editor Neo to name just one, but that exceeds my skills and knowledge. I believe some online sites do it, but that's to be checked...

Generally, this kind of issue happens when the index has been poorly written, but sometimes VLC is still able to read the file. It's a shame that's not the case here :(

Good luck,
Best regards

Hello VLc reads a large majority of files, you can identify your files with "media info" so if all your files have the same characteristics, you should conclude that your 2 files are corrupted for some reason X

remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that is the case.

Thank you Glandu.

Indeed, these files are corrupted.
What I'm interested in is being able to restore them...
Do you know any video file repair tools?
Thank you,
Pascale
