# Video repair report

## Hints for a successful repair

- Make sure that you are using two files for your repair
  1. Your broken input movie
  2. A non-broken sample movie of the same camera (reference movie)
- Study this repair report. It can give you hints why your movie doesn't repair.

## Repair session information

    Input file: E:\Pictures\India 2013\DSCN0655.MOV (560578383 bytes)
    Reference file: E:\Pictures\India 2013\DSCN0653.MOV
    Output folder: E:\Pictures\India 2013\repaired\

## Entropy scan results

Your complete input file has been analysed in small blocks, and the entropy results show which blocks may contain video data (and which may not). A value less than 0.6 typically means that there is definitively no video data in that block, a value greater than 0.6 means it may contain video data.

               start block (KB) -  end (KB)  -- entropy (must be higher than 0.6 for video data)

## Video scan results

Your complete input file has been analysed for video data and this shows the amount of data found. Note: If no data was found (or less than expected), the entropy scan result above can give you an explanation why no (or not enough) data was found.

    Video data found: 0 bytes (DEMO version saves only 50% of this)
    Audio data found: 0 bytes (DEMO version saves only 50% of this)

## Your reference movie

    Video codec: avc1
    Audio codec: mp4a

If there's no codec shown above, or if the entropy scan indicates, that there is video data in your file, but the video scan didn't find any video data (or the repaired movie doesn't play), always check that you are using a correct reference file! The reference movie has to belong to the same camera and it has to be shoot with the same camera settings (video mode, resolution etc.) as your broken file. If you do not have such a reference file, simply shoot a short movie clip using your camera and the same camera settings as your broken movie.

## Playback and import issues

If your complete movie data was found (entropy scan and video scan results are positive), but the movie doesn't play (or import into another video tool) properly, the repaired movie may have encoding errors. In such a case, enable the checkbox 'Reencode repaired movie files', and re-run the scan. After the repair session, the movie will be reencoded.

## Not satisfied with the result?

Always verify that your camera is fully supported. To do so, try a 'repair' on your working reference file. Choose your reference file as input movie, and no reference movie. If the program properly repairs your reference file, your camera is supported.
