Click "Save". VLC Media player will fix the corruption for the video. After that, you can open the repaired MP4 videos freely. The VLC Media Player comes comes with a feature for transcoding, which means it can save and convert a not playable video into a playable video.
Sometimes, when an MP4 video file corrupts, you can try this feature to save it as a new video, making it playable on other media players. To recover such a fragmented MP4 video file, one would need to analyze the whole storage medium to collect all the file's chunks and then combine them frame by frame into a single video file.
Pro tip: Quickly format your memory card before shooting important footage. This ensures that no unnecessary data is left on the card, and new video files are written into contiguous blocks of free space, rather than scattered around the storage. So far, we are not aware of any software that could accurately recover such fragmented video files. But there is still a solution:.
If you accidentally deleted an MP4 file or quick-formatted your memory card, the first thing you should do is remove the memory card from the camera and lock it to prevent new data from being written to the card. Remember — the less manipulations you do on the memory card, the higher the chances of recovering your MP4 files. Now create an image of the entire memory card. Upload the image file to a file sharing service like Google Drive and email us the link to it.
Our video engineers will analyze the image of your memory card and try to recover the video files for you. Update: We have recently published a much more detailed guide to the process of recovering video from SD card. We strongly recommend that you read the guide if you accidentally deleted your video files and want to recover them. In this chapter, we give advice on what to do when the MP4 file does not play, even if you are sure that the video is not corrupted in any way.
Some codecs are common and come preinstalled with built-in software such as Windows Media Player, QuickTime, or the default Android media player. Other codecs are rare, which means you may need to install additional software to be able to play the file. For example, you might have downloaded an MP4 file from a trusted source, from a website, or someone just shared a video with you.
The file is fine, but when you try to play it, you get an error message such as " unsupported file format ", " file cannot be played ", or the like. If this is your case, most likely you just have an outdated media player or the required video codecs are not installed on your computer. This free package includes all the major codecs you need to play a wide variety of media types, including MP4.
In some cases, it even lets you play corrupted MP4 files with broken indices. Please note: after installing the K-Lite Codec Pack, it is not recommended to install any other codecs on the same computer in order to avoid possible conflicts between them. These are also signs of a corrupted video file that you can potentially fix. In addition to the actual video and audio tracks, each MP4 file contains the metadata required by media players to open the file.
This is information about video length, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, codecs, etc. Metadata is stored in a separate section of each MP4 file — the header. When recording video, each camera stores metadata in internal memory RAM , and the actual video is recorded in permanent storage usually an external memory card such as SD.
RAM random access memory is temporary memory required for fast operation of cameras. When you stop recording video, your camera transfers metadata from RAM to permanent storage and saves it at the end of the recorded MP4 file. Unfortunately, RAM cannot store data without power. As you may have guessed by now, if the camera accidentally turns off while recording a video, the metadata may be lost and will not be saved in the final video file.
As a result, you have an MP4 file that looks like a regular video, but won't play. The same problem can occur due to a file transfer failure. If the video download is interrupted, the necessary metadata may be lost. As a result, this video will not play. Basically, if you didn't stop video recording properly, or the transfer process of the video file was interrupted for any reason, you may end up with a corrupted, unplayable MP4 file.
By following these simple tips, you will greatly reduce the chances of corrupting your MP4 files in most cases. However, there are times when a disaster simply cannot be avoided.
