How do repair a broken Cam.avi? (Logitech Software)

[PULARITHA]

Hello Doom9 User´s,

i have record a big video with my logitech 3000 pro cam. as i stop the video recording (2-4h) the logitech software copy the file from ".../temp" into my favorit location ".../myvideos". this procedure take some minutes, but the software show me an unknown error (finish 80%) and broke off and erase both files (".../temp/video.avi & .../myvideos/video.avi).

i had this problem already several times (bad software), therefore i have made a copy from the aktive video during the recording (FILE 1).

with an undelete tool i saved the ".../temp/video.avi) (FILE 2)".


current i have 2 files:

FILE 1 = a copy from the aktive video recording = 1.846.808.576 Bytes
FILE 2 = the "orginal file" from the temp location, saved from an undelete tool = 1.860.526.080 Bytes

unfortunately both files cannot be played :(

INFO: The Logitech Software use "Indeo® video 5.10 Decompression Filter" videocodec.


i tried:

windows media Player
orginal DIVX Player
VLC Media Player
Divx Fix (functioned not because Indeo® video 5.10 Decompression Filter)
Videofixer functioned not because Indeo® video 5.10 Decompression Filter)
Virtualdub (same above - error: cannot determine file type of ******.avi)

so i hope u can help me its importent :( and sry for my english...


ps: i hope i write this thread in right section, otherwise move it ;)

I've moved this to General Discussion. The Logitech Webcam and its software has nothing to do with DivX Encoding.

Please pay attention to Rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) 3 and 13.

PULARITHA: i have logitech webcam 4000 pro, and i must say you, that is better to capture video in virtualdub, because u can select the codec and the quality will be much better (640x480 @ 30 fps). im very happy that i tried virtual dub, because i see big diference in picture quality...

Forget damn file.

Try contacting Logitech, if you haven't already.

you still might be able to recover the file with an "un-delete" program
never fails to shock me how little people know or are willing to help those that don't know
