Hi everyone, first time here. First let me say that I have very very little knowledge in DV. I shot an avi on my digital cam. and deleted it by accident. I have recovery soft ware (Mingo) that I have used with some sucess in the past. The file was recovered but woulden't play. I have tried to use a couple of repair tools (AVI previwer, Digital Video Repair,and All Media Fixer) but they say that the file is not an AVI. This is a file that I would really like to save. I look forward to any advise.

You can try DivFix and AviDemux
In AviDemux under Edit=>Preferences Automation Tab check all the boxes.
Then open the file. If it's packed or needs the index rebuilt it will do it
automatically. Then just save. -
Thanks, tried avidemux but it won't open the file.Comment

Tried DivFix-message read it is not an aviComment

Was the file recovered to the same partition where it was deleted? I'm not familiar with Mingo but a lot of times the free recovery version recovers to the same partition and the pro version makes you recover someplace else to avoid overwrite.Comment

The file was recovered from a sd card to a pc hard drive so overwrite is not an issue-some how the software does not see the file as an aviComment

I think there's a freeware called 4cc changer or something that lets you put the media type code in the file. That may not help if the information in the file is hosed but it shouldn't hurt anything to try it.Comment

If it is on an SD card, it may be a jpeg.You raise the blade,
You make the change,
You rearange me till I'm sane.
You lock the door, throw away
the key,
There's someone in my head
and it's not me.Comment

Steve,
Open the file in Mediainfo. Under "View" choose "Tree". Now select "File"/Export and select "Text" as desired export format. Now show us that saved text file.sigpic
