    I was capturing something to AVI (PicVideo MJPEG) and the PC crashed. I've still got an AVI file on my HD that's 4-5 GB but I can't open it with anything. Anybody ever had any luck recovering files when this happens?

    Try opening with virtualdub and frameserve it that way,it will rebuild the index if it isnt damaged all the way thru.If that dont help then the avi is proly toast.

    Yeah that's the first thing I tried. I figured it was knackered when VDub wouldn't open it but thought I'd get some second & third opinions before I sent it off to the bit bucket.

    Update:

    I didn't give up on this thing. I searched around and found ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair. That did the trick. What a handy tool to have that thing is. I'd like it a lot better if it were a little cheaper though.
