Step 3 Advance Video Repair

In case your video file is severely corrupted, the application allows you to repair it by adding a Sample File to it. The Advance Repair feature is available only for the files with the ‘Awaiting Action‘ status.

A Sample File is a working file created from the same device and of the same format as of the corrupted file. However, it can be of any size.

To add a sample file, from the list of video files, click Advance Repair link under the Action attribute.

From the list of repaired files screen, select the desired files to save by clicking on their respective checkbox. Click Save Repaired Files button.

A ‘Repaired files saved successfully‘ message appears. Click OK to close the message box.
