Worked. Thank you. If anyone finds the command prompt complicated, you could buy the software outright if its for something important. Otherwise, if you're struggling, look where your file is stored. His video is stored on his D drive in a folder named "s". If yours was stored on your E drive in a folder called video and your files were called v1 and v2, you would type the following instead: cd /d e: cd /d e:\video copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4 Hope this helps someone
You were the only person I was able to understand :P Finally got it working! It's in the process of merging now thanks to you :D Hopefully it works haha
I should say that this is the first time ever I got my corrupted video fully restored. Not to mention the simple but genius approach (command line rules as always) Thanks a lot for this, you've been a great help! The developers should be thanked too, though. So... Thanks, developers
Worked!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was able to recover file for a dashcam video that was corrupted so it could be used to catch a robbery suspect. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a hero, merging 2 files so you have instead of 10minutes 20 mintes which is actually 2x the whole video, and due the 50% repair you stll have the full video repaired. You are a savior!
for a shortcut in the "copy" part, just copy and paste v1 and v2 to the directory that your command prompt shows. then no need for the change directory. you can go straight to "copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4"
Fixed a GoPro video that was corrupted. GoPro was NO help at all- blaming it on the PC, video card, user error, etc. BS! GoPro cam is consistently corrupting the last file in a long recording time, where the whole video is broken up into 17+ min segments. Glad for the fix. Thanks!!
Pulled the battery out of my sony a7c before it finished recording on a high profile job last week. My camera produced a 45gb corrupted file and no .xml. This video just majorly saved me. Took hours to copy and recover everything but I'm very grateful.
+Motifex You probably meant "apprentice" or more likely "protege," because an entourage is a group of individuals. Unless I'm not seeing other beings besides your cool kid. Anyway, thanks again for an excellent tutorial that saved my precious video--albeit left me with out-of-sync audio (which I think was unavoidable).
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
I make online content for Instagram and shot all day yesterday just to find out my best shot was corrupted. I searched various forums and sites and none of them worked. This was the only thing that saved me. Thanks man I owe ya
Aaron...... Seems like you are in for some good karma, son. I have a kid like that one gnawing at your keypad but it doesnt stay with me right now.. Had a nice mp4 video of it kicking and clawing. Got damaged, tried upto 5 other repairers but none worked. Their recommendations were to trash the file. That's when I chanced upon your video. I got it converted successfully with clear visuals but it runs at 1/4th speed and regular audio.....When I speed up the video, the audio scrambles.... but that's okay. I dont give a frack as long as I see my little one. THANKS A MILLION, Buddy. God Bless.
Testimony time: I was played heavily for a video project....to cut the whole story short the file could not play on getting home after recording the whole event. On explaining to the Adjutant he said I will explain that in the barracks when he comes to see me. The nextday on his arrival with his Army, he saw crystal super clean well edited video, instantly my argony turn to praise. Thanks a lot for posting this video, I mean YOU S A V E D A LIFE.
After 8 years this still works great! Video Repair Tool is able to repair my broken MP4. And your 'hack' to be able to repair the whole MP4 in trial mode is PERFECT! Thanks!
when I type 'copy\b v1.mp4+v2.mp4' it says that the system cannot find that file..........i have even changed the name of the video files to v1.mp4 and v2.mp4
Good lord! It still works! You totally saved my memories today. Had a hard fall with my camera causing a corrupted file. Your method fixed it. Soooo Awesome!!!!
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
FOR EVERYONE WHO JUST GOT TWO FILES WICH ARE JUST 50% AS BIG AS THE ORIGINAL ONE. TRY THIS: Do the steps where he copied and merged the file and got a file which was two times as big as the original. And now do the same with your new file again. If you have done this you actually have a file which is 4 times as big as the original. Try to repair it now, the program will hopefully give you 3 files. Two of them will be just 50% of the lenghth again but one is full sized.
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
The path is the filepath to the folder your broken file is located in, you can get it if you right click your broken video file in the windows explorer and click "Properties". You can now see it next to "Location" (should look something like this: "D:\Videos\Holiday videos"). It's probably easier to just navigate to the folder with your broken file using the windows explorer, holding shift while right clicking in it and then clicking on "Open command window here" (make sure you shift right click on the empty space and not a file).
Yes, by following the steps in the video, I managed to repair my corrupt .mp4 file. A tip: To read more about the DOS commands just type HELP or more specific HELP COPY.
For me: I opend my folder, clicked FILE found comm prompt and entered the comm copy b/ v1.mp4+v2.mp4 and took a few seconds. and BAM super hard at first but watching ten times got me through it thank you.. the only problem is NO sound Lol at least the file will get fully restored Lol
So i just tried this with some of my corrupted footage, and all it did recovery wise was fast forwarded the 10 minute clip into 5 seconds....sooo not so helpful for me...
2 video .. one i see but very ppor quality still broke and other one only the sound and the 2 the sound are like very speedy.. its vide from obs .. mp4 .. really want this video to be fix .. help
I don't often comment on videos, but when I do, it's because you are a FRIGGIN GENIUS!! Thank You So Much!!! I just returned from a family vacation and found that some of my videos were corrupted. I was devastated and severely pi$$ed off. But thanks to you, all my videos are restored and my family will enjoy these memories for years to come! FYI, You've just gained another subscriber! :-)
The program can only fix a broken header of the container (the header contains info about size, framerate, color space, codec etc., so if there is no header, your media player doesn't know how to interpret the bits inside the file), if the video and audio data itself corrupted there is no way to fix it (unless you find a way to time travel).
Erin, thanks to you, I've just saved some important videos taken at the Wembley Stadium London! I cannot thank you enough! Well done! Much appreciated!
So everything worked perfectly for me but when I got to the repaired folder the v1 read 225kb and the video started and gave me a short thumbnail of what the video might be but it was less than a second. Any ideas?
Not only was he a live saver with this and very easy to understand but this guy is funny af, he had me cracking up at referring to his kid as "this thing" XD
to change to a different drive, just enter its letter followed by a colon and hit enter (so "D:" and then enter for example). dunno why he does it with cd...
Huge thanks!!!! One of my thesis project videos was broken, which meant that I had to wait till next year to do the whole process again, wasting big money and time. I'll share your video :D
The repaired video played, but in fast motion... What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it? I don't want to just run the video in slow motion because it seems like some was cut out. It went from being 3GB to 134MB. 1 hour and 52 minutes long to 1.5 minutes long. Any help please?
Same thing happened to me just now. My 2 hour video was sped up to 11 minutes. I honestly don't understand what I did wrong, I did every step correctly and I really could use some help on this.
2 video .. one i see but very ppor quality still broke and other one only the sound and the 2 the sound are like very speedy.. its vide from obs .. mp4 .. really want this video to be fix .. help

Thank YOU so much, I had 6 corrupted MP4 files which wouldn't play anymore. Thanks to your solution I managed to save 5 of them. The last one didn't seem to have enough video data, but I am glad I have 5 of 6.
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
Here's the Mac process: In Terminal, type in cd ~/(your video directory). Then, type in cat file1.mp4 file2.mp4 >merged.mp4. It should work for any video type; it will yield a create a new file, so you'll have the merged file, plus your original files.
A note for everyone using a gopro sessions 4, My brothers' files go corrupte after a few clips ( not sure if its because of the file size or bad sd card ), either way I followed the steps and got the repaired file, open it and hit another error after the export. Which was ' A bad public movie atom..', anywho, to fix this problem I opened the 'repaired' file ( Placed by video repair ) in vlc ( version 2.1.3 Rincewind ) and found that it played perfectly there. Sooo the final step was to use vlc's convert/save feature and export the 'repaired' file to a new file by vlc and that worked! That exported file will play fine in any video editor, unlike the 'repair' file. P.S. When you export in VLC please make sure you wait till the entire length of the file finishes playing/exporting.
mines is 9 seconds long with messed up audio and fast forwarding basically everything with some glitching and skipping :/ My reference video was basically perfect match because it was essentially the same gameplay doing the same section of the story but of a different character, yet it didn't work. Both used OBS too. I can't possibly think of a better video match -_-
A hero walks among us and his name is R3DLIN3S. Helping a young man fix his 11gb corrupted .mp4 file. I am indebted to your knowledge and greatness. Thus, you have earned a life long subscriber and "Likes for dayz". Thank you.
Thanks it worked like a charm! Imagine filming a whole short film with actors and then you bring the files to your mac and they all get corrupted. Imagine that shit!!
Would you please guide me on how to do this and use it on Mac? 1. I am not able to download this app without the 'Missing script' message from stopping me to move forward. 2. I'm not familiar with how to give 'command' to Mac, or what to give it? Please help.
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
Cannot believe this software actually works. Before trying this I tried few famous softwares and website but none could recover my corrupted video. In my first attempt the video frame rate didn't match, an 11 min video was recovered as one hour long, then after manually adjusting frame rate in setting I got the exact size.
I followed the instructions but in the end no repaired file in the repaired folder. online 'logfile' and 'report' browser. Can you help me how to find it?
Hello, Sir I'm Joshua from Philippines, I really glad that I see your video It works really well to me. I hope you do more videos like this you really help many people like me a student that has sudden corrupted videos of lesson. Thank you :)
make sure you are in the right directory for example if its on your desktop u need to do "cd c:\users\(Username)\desktop\(file)\" before u can do the copy/b command.
I was also getting the message "access denied" because I went into Command Prompt without right clicking and choosing Run as Administrator. When I went back and chose Run as Administrator, I was able to copy. Good luck!
How is it possible that I am the only person who realizes that the file length is not doubled? The file size is doubled, but look at the length! Its the same! the fixed file still ends up being only half the length of the original file.
Holy shit this worked wonders. I was literally trying all ways to access this video I had with no luck until I tried this. I'm a super skeptical person so it took me a while to go through everything and make sure nothing fishy was going on. Thanks dude and hope your family is doing well.
You just saved me from having to call my boss and explain that I need another week for the project because everything on the card got corrupted somehow. So I still have a job! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. And thank you to your entourage for making me laugh.
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
I have a 8GB corrupted gameplay of 30 minuts and it becomes a 16GB file. I've followed all steps, but the "repaired" video is like a glitchy fast camera video. Is something wrong or maybe the program can't handle the file?
will this also work if I get this error --- >> Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
worked with my in-game recording with shadowplay. I chose a recording of the same game that I made earlier as a reference movie if some of you are wondering.
Works like a charm. For some reason recorded video file with onepleus 5 phone and it was corrupted when finished. My guess is that because the phone was at low 4% battery when the 3 hour recording ended, the phone had moved to battery saver mode and that is probably the reason it did not save the mp4 video file properly. Thanks mate!
Thanks man, worked like a charm! Didn't quite get why you took so long explaining the CMD part, but after reading all the comments; I finally get that saying about leading a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!
This is very helpful; if the video finished and it is really short, make another folder but instead put 3-4 copies and name them v1,v2,v3,v4,etc. then merge all them, you can copy more than 2 in command prompt at once. doing this will make more of the video playable. Also if the video is sped up, use a video editor and separate the audio and cut the speed of the video in half. Hope this helps
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
Every time I type in copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4 it can't find the files...I put the mp4 files in multiple folders to see if it would work, but I can't seem to get it. Would you be able to help?
I have been killing myself inside for corrupting half my phone's videos as a result of purchasing a cheap crappy memory card. This software and your duplicating technique is ingenious. Thank you so much. Now to spend the next couple hours repairing each one by one lol

Worked. Thank you. If anyone finds the command prompt complicated, you could buy the software outright if its for something important. Otherwise, if you're struggling, look where your file is stored. His video is stored on his D drive in a folder named "s". If yours was stored on your E drive in a folder called video and your files were called v1 and v2, you would type the following instead:

Hope this helps someone
Welcome dude
ty so much
TheDarkWolf You're most welcome!
It stills says "the system cannot find the file specified"
You were the only person I was able to understand :P Finally got it working! It's in the process of merging now thanks to you :D Hopefully it works haha
I should say that this is the first time ever I got my corrupted video fully restored. Not to mention the simple but genius approach (command line rules as always)

everything was going good until I got to cd d:\s
then it said the system could not find the path specified? help?
because the \s path is his, you have your own path file you have to put in
for example, mine was \vlog
How do you know what your path is?
omfg how can you be that moron
Many people don't know what file paths are and how they work because they haven't learned it yet.
Not knowing something =/= being stupid
The path is the filepath to the folder your broken file is located in, you can get it if you right click your broken video file in the windows explorer and click "Properties".
You can now see it next to "Location" (should look something like this: "D:\Videos\Holiday videos").
It's probably easier to just navigate to the folder with your broken file using the windows explorer, holding shift while right clicking in it and then clicking on "Open command window here" (make sure you shift right click on the empty space and not a file).

How to we do the command prompt part with a mac ? Can someone help :)
In mac command prompt is called terminal. Not sure if it works 100% the same
Here's the Mac process:
In Terminal, type in cd ~/(your video directory).
Then, type in cat file1.mp4 file2.mp4 >merged.mp4. It should work for any video type; it will yield a create a new file, so you'll have the merged file, plus your original files.
WOW... First time using command script and it worked!!! Thanks!!!! Life saver..
thanks so much! PC crashes mid stream and had a broken .mp4 this fixed it completely!
A note for everyone using a gopro sessions 4,
My brothers' files go corrupte after a few clips ( not sure if its because of the file size or bad sd card ), either way I followed the steps and got the repaired file, open it and hit another error after the export. Which was ' A bad public movie atom..', anywho, to fix this problem I opened the 'repaired' file ( Placed by video repair ) in vlc ( version 2.1.3 Rincewind ) and found that it played perfectly there. Sooo the final step was to use vlc's convert/save feature and export the 'repaired' file to a new file by vlc and that worked!
That exported file will play fine in any video editor, unlike the 'repair' file.
P.S. When you export in VLC please make sure you wait till the entire length of the file finishes playing/exporting.
well, the video came up, but it was in like 5 frames a sec, and was very poor quality.
SAME
mines is 9 seconds long with messed up audio and fast forwarding basically everything with some glitching and skipping :/
My reference video was basically perfect match because it was essentially the same gameplay doing the same section of the story but of a different character, yet it didn't work. Both used OBS too. I can't possibly think of a better video match -_-

Help.. cd /d d: says “The system cannot find the drive specified”

How big gameplay and was it on Phone or PC
@@QuackCola all the best
Thanks it worked like a charm! Imagine filming a whole short film with actors and then you bring the files to your mac and they all get corrupted. Imagine that shit!!
Would you please guide me on how to do this and use it on Mac? 1. I am not able to download this app without the 'Missing script' message from stopping me to move forward. 2. I'm not familiar with how to give 'command' to Mac, or what to give it? Please help.
boom, bam! thank you madam :))
you saved me on this 10hours of work lost on some stupid CF CARDs.... after sandisk deluxe or data pc3 this is a must !!!! am so thankful
Thank you very much!! Happy new year 2019!!
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
I've tried several methods before and nothing worked. You really saved my life (and my job). Thank you so much!
when I type in cd /d d: it says this device is not ready
help?
put the video you want repaired on an sd card and use the letter of that drive.. your letter may be f for example instead of d
thanks
:)
JaberChimchar youre welcome!
hi
how do i do that? sorry if it is a dumb question
Cannot believe this software actually works. Before trying this I tried few famous softwares and website but none could recover my corrupted video.
In my first attempt the video frame rate didn't match, an 11 min video was recovered as one hour long, then after manually adjusting frame rate in setting I got the exact size.
I followed the instructions but in the end no repaired file in the repaired folder. online 'logfile' and 'report' browser. Can you help me how to find it?
same
Marvin Loja me too. i had the same issue. did u manage to fix it ?
I didnt. Those are my canyoneering videos. 😢
What made them stop working? Will you take it in to a tech shop?
it means they weren't able to repair the file.
Hello, Sir I'm Joshua from Philippines, I really glad that I see your video It works really well to me. I hope you do more videos like this you really help many people like me a student that has sudden corrupted videos of lesson. Thank you :)
Hi joshua, is it really working? I follow the steps but it won't work. Appreciate if you'll share yours. Thanks
when i type copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4 its says the system cannot find the file specified
change "copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4" to "copy/b (your file name)+(Your File name)" Also make sure you are in the correct directory. BOL
yes, i named it v1 and v2
make sure you are in the right directory for example if its on your desktop u need to do "cd c:\users\(Username)\desktop\(file)\" before u can do the copy/b command.
did you resolve this? I have same issue.
Are you sure your videos are mp4s?
Thanks for the tip. That really did the trick.
Now I can enjoy the video of my bike on the dyno once again. That scream at 14000 revs is amazing :)
when i type copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4 its says access denied
try copy/b v1+v2
I was also getting the message "access denied" because I went into Command Prompt without right clicking and choosing Run as Administrator. When I went back and chose Run as Administrator, I was able to copy. Good luck!
run cmd as administration
How is it possible that I am the only person who realizes that the file length is not doubled? The file size is doubled, but look at the length! Its the same! the fixed file still ends up being only half the length of the original file.
It was genius the way you fixed the 50% issue :p but to bad to software doesnt work for me
Holy shit this worked wonders. I was literally trying all ways to access this video I had with no luck until I tried this. I'm a super skeptical person so it took me a while to go through everything and make sure nothing fishy was going on. Thanks dude and hope your family is doing well.
You just saved me from having to call my boss and explain that I need another week for the project because everything on the card got corrupted somehow. So I still have a job! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. And thank you to your entourage for making me laugh.

I have a 8GB corrupted gameplay of 30 minuts and it becomes a 16GB file. I've followed all steps, but the "repaired" video is like a glitchy fast camera video. Is something wrong or maybe the program can't handle the file?

will this also work if I get this error --- >> Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
worked with my in-game recording with shadowplay. I chose a recording of the same game that I made earlier as a reference movie if some of you are wondering.
What a good idea, double the files size as it is only going to fix 50%. Works perfect! Thank you.
Worked! Thank you very much! Saved my 6GB file I needed for one of my YT videos.
Works like a charm. For some reason recorded video file with onepleus 5 phone and it was corrupted when finished. My guess is that because the phone was at low 4% battery when the 3 hour recording ended, the phone had moved to battery saver mode and that is probably the reason it did not save the mp4 video file properly. Thanks mate!
Thanks man, worked like a charm! Didn't quite get why you took so long explaining the CMD part, but after reading all the comments; I finally get that saying about leading a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!
This is very helpful; if the video finished and it is really short, make another folder but instead put 3-4 copies and name them v1,v2,v3,v4,etc. then merge all them, you can copy more than 2 in command prompt at once. doing this will make more of the video playable. Also if the video is sped up, use a video editor and separate the audio and cut the speed of the video in half. Hope this helps
HELLO. I'm here to fix my video just like everyone else. I see that you fix your video from this video. if I sent you some of my videos can you please fix mine the same way yo fix yours and I can pay you if you like ?
Every time I type in copy/b v1.mp4+v2.mp4 it can't find the files...I put the mp4 files in multiple folders to see if it would work, but I can't seem to get it. Would you be able to help?
Excellent tutorial, you've just saved my day with a file that got corrupted when my camera's battery died before finalising the file. Cheers, Dave.
Sweet. Worked like a charm with the exception of the audio half way cut out but I wanted the video, not the audio. Thanks.
I have been killing myself inside for corrupting half my phone's videos as a result of purchasing a cheap crappy memory card. This software and your duplicating technique is ingenious. Thank you so much. Now to spend the next couple hours repairing each one by one lol
You saved my file!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing this. I wish you only the best!!!!
