How to recover broken MJPEG AVI file after a camera crash
- by Jam K
I was recording a video when my KODAK EASYSHARE M531 Digital Camera fell to the ground and turned off. When i turned it on nothing happened to the camera but the video file is somehow broken. Obviously the camera did not have time to convert and close it properly.
$file myvid.avi
myvid.AVI: data
where it should be:
another_vid.AVI: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 640 x 480, ~30 fps, video: Motion JPEG, audio: uLaw (stereo, 12000 Hz)`
I would like to fix my video which I believe needs to be converted to AVI. Any idea?
VLC does not play the file and returns:
could not determine type of stream
