    Help! Copy/repair corrupted video of cd

    Hi, yesterday i tried to copy an old avi of cd to hdd for conversion. Neither in Nero or Windows i was able to copy it completely to hdd. Nearly at the end (97%) it stucks because of an error reading that file. Is there any tool to repair or save this file and copy it to hdd?

    thanks for helping

    "i tried to copy an old avi of cd to hdd for conversion. Neither in Nero or Windows i was able to copy it completely to hdd."

    Can you successfully "Play" the AVI file in a software-based player?

      yes its possible to play in PowerDVD and WMP but it can´t be imported in VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod or other editing toolz.

        Use a repair utility called "AVIFixP" on the AVI. Try "Rebuilding" the index. Hopefully doing this will fix the file.

          Hi ormonde,

          after checking avi file stored on cd it log´s:

          checking errors....
          Done: Found 0 errors, 63701 video frames, 106186 audio samples


          and i couldn´t find a way saving the backup on hdd. But nice program for corrupted downloaded avi files.

          thanks a lot

          sincerely

              Perhaps it's an all too obvious question to ask but, did you try cleaning the CD?

                *hicks* yeah *hicks* i just my vodka for it *hicks* .
                Don´t know why this error is suppose to be there but i can give one recommendation straight away:

                never burn video data with more then 6x speed!
                this seems to be one part of that problem....the intense of burning is just not good enough for long time storage!

                  That MAY be valid, depending upon the quality of both your burner and the media.

                  I have recently successfully played .AVI CDs that were burned at 16X a couple of years ago...

                          ...besides there is also cool software from softarch:



                          -> FixDVD / FixUDF for Windows

                          The First Utilities for fixing and recovering files on Removable Disks using the Universal Disk Format ("UDF")
                          FixDVD! V2 and FixUDF! V2 are diagnostic tools designed to help you identify and repair problems with a formatted UDF (Universal Disk Format) disks. Such discs could be data discs created on a PC or recorded video discs created on a set top DVD recorder. Even if they cannot repair the disk so it can be mounted, it can copy the files from the damaged disk to your hard drive and from there, recover your data or video. The UDF data format for disk file structures is based on the standard developed by the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA). (OSTA).

                          Why Use Our Fix Utilities?
                          Disks become damaged or are unreadable for a number of reasons.
                          volume could be physically damaged by scratches, dirt or other foreign matter, or by fingerprints
                          incomplete or damaged UDF file structures
                          non-compliant UDF file structures (the OSTA standard may not have been used when the file structure was created. For example, Roxio’s DirectCD™, BHA’s B’s Clip™ and Aplix’s PacketMan™ UDF file system utilities create a non-standard UDF format, and therefore are not interchangeable with other kinds of systems.)
                          data structures altered by other software or by a system crash

                          The above can lead to lost data or the inability to mount the disk (inability to click on the drive letter or icon to view the contents). Our file recovery software allows you todiagnose and repair problems so the disk can be mounted and used. Even if they cannot repair the disk so it can be mounted, it can copy the files from the damaged disk to your hard drive and from there, recover your data.

                          FixDVD! and FixUDF! Key Features and Benefits
                          Can help determine how much damage exists and repair all or enough of the damage to make the disk or files useful.
                          If a disk cannot be repaired, all or part of the data on the disk may be saved to your hard drive and from there recovered.
                          Quickly determines the format type (UDF or other), the version of UDF format implemented, and if the format is compliant with UDF Forum specifications. If not, fix it to make it compliant so to allow interchange.
                          Reads, analyzes and repairs all versions of the UDF format: OSTA UDF v1.02, 1.5, 2.0 AND 2.0.1.
                          Displays summary information on the directories and files on the disk, along with the number and type of errors or format defects on the disk.
                          Repairs defects or errors automatically.
                          Displays summary and detailed logs of the format and directory status.
