  • Help re-encoding a busted file

    OK, here's the thing: I have a video I captured off a video camera tape (which, along with its owner, flew to Russia yesterday) and the app (Windows Movie Maker) crashed while it was doing the index...thus, I have a file that plays fine, but has no index, which means that in its current form I can't edit it, skip through it or (at least from what I've tried) re-encode it. Any recommendations? Can anything be done?

        Take a chance I have managed to fix avi files but never tried it on wmv.

          Thanks very much for the suggestion, Debbie...it did the trick! The fixed file was still not editable in Movie Maker, but I could re-encode it to mp4 and can now process it

            Yes Lecter, that's the way it is done. You will sacrifice some quality but at least you can encode and edit.

            I'm glad to have been of service.
