View Full Version : Corrupted AVI - Partially fixible with DivFix

I hope this is the right place to post this. I have a (possibly) corrupted XVid AVI that will not open with any player. When I run DivFix on it I discover that there's no AVI index present in the file! So I proceed to rebuild the index. It seems to work fine until it discovers corrupted data:

Corrupted data detected at frame 24884 (00:17:17)
Error offset: 125099340 ($0774DD4C)

I have been thorough with this and have used file splicers to see if the corruption is just on that one frame or whether the rest of the file past frame #24884 is really garbage. No matter what I do, I can't see anything in that file past the point DivFix mentions, but it does fix the file up to that point (the file is a standard ~24 minute anime episode.)
My goal is to determine whether there is any salvagable video past that point or whether it really is garbage and give up. I am sure there are tools for this, but I would appreciate the favor since as you can see I am not well versed in this beyond running DivFix occassionally. I have provided a direct download link to the file on my own file-hosting account:

Please let me know any info on this file when you can. Thank you very much!

How did you make the AVI?

You cannot post an entire copyrighted anime here!

I certainly apologize for that - I should have made clear what series this was. I was however aware that I could not post liscensed content here. It is an fansubbed episode of "Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo", which is not liscensed in the U.S. I have consulted numerous resources to confirm this. Please let me know if I can re-edit and repost the link.

You haven't answered my question. If you did not make the AVI yourself from an original that you legally own, how did you legally obtain it?

No, you may not post a link to the AVI. It is copyrighted material.

I will close it and not strike you for this.

There is no fansubbing exception to forum rule 6. I have elaborated on that in a PM to you.

Thank you for your understanding.

EDIT: Now I see you have edited out your previous post just as I was replying.
