Help recovered avi won't play

[paglamon]

Paglamon, I did as you ask in your post: the text file just showed complete file name,the path, and file size. What do you think?

Only size ? And nothing else ? No mention about file type,codec,bitrate etc. ? Please post the exact screenshot of the Mediainfo window.

Ok, below is a copy/paste of the text file

General
Complete name : C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My Documents\Working2\DCIM\100CASIO\_IMG2390.AVI
File size : 922 MiB

[paglamon]

And nothing under Video or Audio ? Can you post a screenshot like this :

[Steve R.]

Thats the whole window there is no audio or video referances

[paglamon]

Then,in all probability, that file is not a media file.

[Steve R.]

It is an .avi but must be missing a part of the file that identifys it as such. Its a 922 meg file so I know the data is there it must have something missing. The question is what? and how to repair it?

[paglamon]

Because the extension says it as .avi does not mean that it IS an avi file. Also,in Windows Explorer,under Tools/Folder Options/View do you have "hide extensions for known file types" ticked ? If it is checked,then,uncheck it.
