    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    VIDEO STEPS LISTED BELOW - UPDATED JAN 26, 2022*
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ✅Step 1:
    FILE - www.videohelp.com/software?d=...
    ✅Step 2:
    Download ffmpeg Tool (ffmpeg-3.4.1):
    FILE for Win64 (common) - www.videohelp.com/download/ff...
    or
    FILE for Win32 (slower) - www.videohelp.com/download/ff...
    For Reference:
    ffmpeg.org/download.html
    ffmpeg.org/releases/?C=N;O=D
    ✅STEP 3:
    Extract ffmpeg.zip, then extract recover_mp4.zip inside /ffmpeg/bin/ directory so that all the .exe files are in the same folder!
    ✅STEP 4:
    Copy your "good.mp4" reference file
    Copy your "bad.mp4" damaged file to be repaired
    into SAME directory with .exe files as described in STEP 3
    ✅STEP 5:
    Search - then type "CMD" (without quotes) -- then right-click on COMMAND PROMPT to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and confirm with YES
    ✅STEP 6:
    Change your working directory inside COMMAND PROMPT to where your ffmpeg.exe and recover_mp4.exe and .mp4 video files are (see step 3) *Make sure to add the letters "cd" before you paste your directory.
    ✅STEP 7:
    Copy/Execute the following command inside COMMAND PROMPT + press ENTER
    recover_mp4.exe good.mp4 --analyze
    ✅STEP 8:
    After analysis is completed, run proposed commands you receive from recover_mp4 tool, for example:
    recover_mp4.exe bad.mp4 recovered.h264 recovered.aac
    ✅STEP 9:
    Copy and Paste the second line such as:
    ffmpeg.exe -r 30 -i recovered.h264 -i recovered.aac -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -c:v copy -c:a copy recovered.mp4
    (above are only example commands for step 9, they will be different for each video format - follow the instructions you receive from recover_mp4 tool!)
    ✅Step 10: OPEN RECOVERED VIDEO! (REMEMBER AUDIO WILL BE A SEPARATE FILE)
    If the file isn't playable it might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is corrupt in a way that ffmpeg is unable to decipher. Make sure you are using a reference file that is using the same format as the corrupted video.

    Hey Everyone! LINKS are UPDATED* 😎❤ I'm so happy to hear the stories of how this video has saved some people's heartache over potentially losing important content. So far there have been comments about people reviving all kinds of videos whether it be personal home movies, weddings, funerals, or memorials. Even things like TV shows, client projects, and pilot episodes have been brought back using this method. Apparently, it works with other video file types outside of .mp4 as well. I do plan to make an updated version of this video in the coming months to make this process even simpler to digest. I appreciate all of the positive comments and LOVE to hear about those who are able to bring back their videos! *Much love to you all!*

    I had just finished recording a two-hour project when my PC crashed literally as I was moving the mouse to stop the recording. I legit cried over my lost work until I pulled myself together and found this amazingly helpful guide. I followed your steps and it didn't quite work the first time so I actually had to learn how to use the program options but I was able to recover my entire video. It's a little shaky here and there but it is significantly better than redoing my entire project just to record again. Thank you so, so much! I've also learned my lesson to not record in MP4 format anymore... 😒

    Does the reference file need to be the same exact length? I got an imperfect recovery: the audio only plays for the first few seconds and the sound is all wrong, so it's very slowed down, and the video file "works" but it keeps speeding up and then slowing down.
    The original recording was at a constant bit rate so I'm not sure why it got confused in this way. The file is long (almost 3 hours) and large (5.56 GB), is that the issue? Does the reference need to be the exact same length?

    Out of about 40 videos/photos I took with the GoPro Hero 9 during a vacation, one video file seems to be giving me an issue.
    I was able to view it 1 time after the initial recording & was able to see the thumbnail/time duration & playback
    directly on the camera; After that, It would only work using the GoPro app on my phone even though it showed 0:00.
    It now says "Unable To View" on the camera gallery & after attempting to download the file to a computer the file shows its 3.07 GB but it will not play anymore, not even on the app now. I tried the recovery method from this tutorial but no luck. Any other suggestions?

    • @kiiikoooPT
      @kiiikoooPT 3 месяца назад

      I'm not an expert, but it seems that your case is different, it sounds more like a broken SD card, I think this case is for files that were not properly saved at termination.
      Which means the beginning and middle of the video is ok, it is just the finishing that is not good, so it can read the entire file and cut the bad ending.
      In your case, it looks like the file got corrupted in other ways since it was working properly in the beginning, so I recommend you to not use that SD again or properly format it and check for errors.
      But about the file I honestly don't know how to help you, In the past I had corrupted files like that, that I was able to open them with VLC, but not other players, and they had skipped frames but VLC player was still able to read it.
      So I used to open with VLC and then use, if I'm not mistaken, save as, and make it a different format. Ex: If the file was AVI I would make, save as mpg2 and it would make a new file. But with the broken frames.
      Give it a try if you didn't do that yet. Try open with VLC player and see if it works at all there.

      *_"Only I couldn't change the directory, because C: is the only directory I have, since I only have one M.2 drive."_* - You need to be in the right directory. "Directory" just means "folder".

Of ALL of the times for it to cease functioning, it was THE SECOND I WAS ABOUT TO SAVE MY VIDEO.
    I've learned my lesson and I won't be recording with MP4 for OBS ever again -- but thanks to you and this fix, I managed to recover my video. I truly cannot thank you enough -- I can breathe easy!!
    (Worth noting that the time it took to process everything on my end was significantly longer than yours since my recording was so long -- I thought it didn't work at first since it took so much longer, but with a bit of patience it eventually recovered everything!!)

    I was extremely happy to see my mp4 actually give me a video, however was quickly a bit saddened to see my videos speed constantly fluctuate. It's constantly speeding up and slowing down, and the audio is completely broken too.
    I might still find a use for the footage as is but If anyone here knows how to fix this problem, please tell me. (I believe the source of the problem might be because I record in variable bitrate).

      Pim I actually managed to get my mp4 fully recovered with all 3 audio streams by using the alternative paid method (in description). Sadly enough though it’s not really worth the price as I paid 20 dollars for about 20 minutes of footage.

      I have the same problem :/
      I tried several method and this is the only one that got me close. I tried VLC and the 'doubling the length, then use grauonline.de' method. VLC didn't even play the video while grauonline turned the 30min video in to 9 seconds with horrible audio.
      I pretty much given up hope. Wondershare's Video recovering worked flawlessly, at least the 30 second preview. I was tempted to buy it but I'm not a youtuber and have no intention of using the program actively so it felt like a expensive waste. Especially since the video isn't important and can be re-filmed if absolutely necessary.
      The video I'm trying to recover can do without sound, and the speed can be fixed in editing, so I don't mind. But there seem to be a visual glitch in replaying right at the middle which doomed the video.
      I decided to run it on VLC and hope to play the broken-but-less-so-video on a famously can-play-anything video player.
      And that helped a lot. The player didn't freeze up and played just fine, albeit sometimes fast forwarded and no audio for 60% of the video, all of which I'm willing to accept. I am desperate enough to recover something usable. Re-filming would more effort than I would like, but the content itself isn't worth paying some 30-50 bucks(depending on subscription length) for recovery.

    any suggestion on being only able to recover 26% of the original corrupted file? It doesn't look like you answer many questions here, but on a chance you may, I'll ask anyway. Super helpful so far with a little trouble in step 6 like a lot of people. The addition of cd (change destination) was not real clear in the video and this of course was key. Help me and I'll help you. I have a decently sized audience and us video creators need this kind of information as it is bound to happen sooner or later. Thank you for considering.
    I've even tried the newer downloads you have listed in the description and I still get the same result. The original file is about 2.5 hours and almost 4G, and I was able to recover about 1G and about 25 minutes
    some additional incentive, help me recover this and I'll give you $100 in your patreon account (time sensitive, I'm working on this with a 3rd party as well)

    Another thing I'd like to point out to noobs in technical work, is that if you are going to be using command-line, it's good to be able to "see" the extensions of the files you are working with. For PC, open any folder, select Tools, select tab View, deselect "Hide extensions for known file types". Windows 10, I believe it's in the toolbar of the folder, it's easy enough to google search how to "show extensions". It's always a good idea to be able to see the extensions. By default it's always turned off.
