VidRepair

VidRepair is a Windows‑only utility that attempts to restore corrupted video containers such as MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and other formats. It analyzes the input file first, reporting whether recovery is feasible, and then runs a fixed sequence of up to nine automated repair strategies until a playable output is produced. The tool works locally, using a bundled ffmpeg, and does not require an internet connection, user account, or administrative privileges.

The software supports batch processing, allowing multiple files to be queued and repaired sequentially, with each operation independent of the others. It can rebuild missing container indexes, relocate moov atoms, reconstruct timestamps, rewrap streams into alternative containers, scan raw H.264 or HEVC NAL units, and as a last resort, re‑encode readable portions of the stream. Optional reference files from the same camera can improve recovery results.

All processing is performed on the user’s machine; the original file remains untouched and repaired output is saved to a chosen directory. Repair attempts are logged locally, and the tool flags partial recoveries when the output size is shorter than expected.
