Repairing avi index

flyingsnail · 2010-03-21 21:03:32

I recovered a number of deleted avi’s the problem is that the avi index is broken. If I use vlc player, it can repair the index and play the file perfectly but it is only fixed for that instance. If I want to play it again I have to go through the repair process again. Does anybody know of any (preferably free) programs…

Does anybody know of any (preferably free) programs that can permanently repair the index? I can’t seem to find any option like that with vlc.

my go to method is
DivFix to re-index then direct stream copy in Virtualdub making it a normal avi.
