VidRepair
What it is
VidRepair is a free Windows app that attempts to repair corrupted video containers locally on the user's machine. Its listed formats include MP4, MOV, 3GP, MKV, WebM, AVI, FLV and WMV. The app tries as many as nine recovery strategies in sequence and stops if one produces a valid, playable output. A healthy clip recorded with the same camera and settings can help with a recovery strategy for reconstructing missing container metadata. Multiple files can be queued for sequential repair, and a failure on one file does not stop the queue. The maker says files are not uploaded and the app needs neither an account nor an internet connection. VidRepair reads the source file and writes repaired output to a directory chosen by the user; it also keeps details of the last 50 repairs locally and checks outputs with ffprobe before marking them successful. It cannot recover overwritten media data, physically damaged storage, encrypted or DRM-protected files, or corruption beyond its strategies. The current download is for Windows 10/11; the Mac download is marked as coming soon.
