Worked like a charm. I've used ffmpeg for many many things in the past, its features are endless. Those maintaining the project have my eternal gratitude.
Wow, it worked!!! I am trying to capture my old home made recordings from VHS to PC and only using VCL it did the job but all the files have broken index. VCL can use a temp fix to be able to watch them but not permanent. Tried so many different programs and the only one that worked are the video converters but as you said I would loose the quality heaps. Being an old VCR recording already low quality that would make it even worst. Came across your video and WOW!!! it works like a charm. Repaired file is not only the same quality but the same size to the bit. Thank you sooo much Dean. I am so subscribing now.
No problem. I don't make videos like these often. I just run into problems and make videos to reference for myself to archive a fix. Glad it helps others.
I have the avi on a CD but want to copy it to my pc... how would I have to change the line for the command prompt then? it tells me access denied to the new file although I used admin. but i guess thats cause it tried to copy it on the CD? any solutions?
Thanks for this - mine took much longer to repair - about 10min, and I have another 20 of these to do. Do you know of a command line to batch repair files in the same directory? Cheers.
I got lost when you opened up cmd prompt because mine opens up in c: \windows\system32 drive. Since this is an instructional video, it would've been nice if you had included what commands to type starting from everyone else's default drive instead of changing directories, saying "it's as simple as doing this" --and NOT saying what you are clicking on or typing out, on your end of the screen etc. Also, since you chose to avoid vocally SAYING each step along the way, it made it difficult to follow the instructions, because I had to go back, pause the video, fullscreen the video, and read off your screen to see what you were typing or where you were before I could move on to the next step.If you had simply just talked us through each of the steps, vocally, I could have just followed along without even having to watch the video at all, which would have made the fix so much easier...It sounds like this video was for people already familiar with CMD prompt, so I understand you left out specifics, but if you're putting out a video teaching regular people how to do something, you have to do it from their perspective and go step by step. I've worked with cmd prompt before and have some experience installing programs with it, using it to removing viruses, or to follow prompts to fix errors, but honestly, I myself don't know computer coding, so this video was not helpful for me at all and now I'm gonna have to go to another video to figure out how to fix a corrupt video file with ffmpeg. +Thumbs Down..
It is a very common setup to have video files away from the C drive. Almost all SSD users, including me, put video files on a separate drive, so they will do the drive switch. If you had it on the C drive, you just skip the switching step which I figured was common sense. I don't understand the issue with vocally saying each step of the way, I see this as a common practice in all tutorials I see, but I get picked on for it? sigh* guess people just like to hate on channels that aren't popular.
I get where you're coming from. My issue was that the instructions in this video were not stated step by step. For instance, if you say something in you video like "it's as easy as this --" [doing the action off camera and not verbalizing it], how am I supposed to understand what just happened off screen, what command you typed, if you hit enter, or clicked a button, etc. it just leaves me, as a viewer, in the dark if I am following along. I'm not hating, I respect that you took the time to make a video. I'm just trying to be constructive, give an honest opinion, and comment on what I thought could have been better about the instructional and future videos.
I didn't do anything off camera, except the downloading part and 7-zip, which did not need to be included. I never omitted a command and I verbally stated to press enter, right now I'm still struggling to see the issue you're pointing out.
Not long, time it takes really isn't an issue unless you're repairing a ton of videos and in that case you just measure it yourself with a stopwatch or something. In my video this process took less than 3 seconds.

link is not showing what you have in video
VIDEO QUALITY IS VERY BAD DURING COMMAND PROMT EXECUTION...PLEASE WRITE THE COMMAND HERE
I will not do that simply because I watched it myself in 1080p and it looked good, in fact better than most videos.
dude this totally worked. Thx man
Nice

+Victor Creecy-Roberts Honestly no. I found this to be a situational issue, so I never got too deep into it.

Hi Dean, For me it is saying as ffmpeg is not recognized as internal or external command, operatable program or batch file
Did you put the ffmpeg, ffplay, and ffprobe into system32? Those items are found in the bin folder.
thank you
you saved my life
thank you!
thank you so much!! its fixed! :)
Hi dean can you post the ffmpeg you copy paste in the cmd. Thanks
ffmpeg -i "bad.avi" -c:v copy -c:a copy "good.avi"
How much time will be needed to repair a 22 minute video?
Not long, time it takes really isn't an issue unless you're repairing a ton of videos and in that case you just measure it yourself with a stopwatch or something. In my video this process took less than 3 seconds.
its saying the file name and directory name or volume label syntex is incorrect plz help
Can you give more details? Did you do everything like this video?
@@persinders ya i do everything that shown in this video
@@persinders also i downloaded and paste ffmpeg file into windows/system 32
@@wishnu7886 Verify ffmpeg works by typing ffmpeg and enter in cmd, if so what are the names of the files and file types that you are working on?
@@persinders that is avi file
I think this is a troll, it's not visible what your writing and your not saying what your typing -_-....
THANKS BRO
Not work for me!Fail tutorial man.
thanks a lot realy =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =)
Te amo, Je t' aime, i love u,
ich liebe dich
Seriously you need 5 mins for this ?! I google it, and came up with the command "ffmpeg -i input.avi -c copy out.avi" DONE !
Doesn't explain the setup and 5 minutes is not a long time.
