Repairing Corrupted DivX?

[JoeRyanNixon]

I downloaded a video in DivX, but it was corrupted or something so I used DivFix to re-construct the index, but it still doesn't work after 15 minutes. I'm guessing there are currupt frames, so does anyone know a programme that'll delete the dropped frame? Whenever I put it into a programme like Virtual Dub it crashes after the part that doens't work and's really crappy at seeking it anyway (it seeks ok in Widnows Media Player, except it says it's only 15 minutes long). Also, I read that if you left the index in when resuming a partially downloaded download, it'd ruin it, and I did watch some of the file when it was partially downloaded in Virtual Dub, but I didn't save the file or anything, so would Virtual Dub have saved the index automatically corrupting it or not?

Well thanks for any help you can give,

Joe

I had the same problem with many of my divx moviees. I always end up d/l alot of incomplete movies. And I used divxfix to reconstruct the ending so i can watch it. Then when i d/l the rest of it, it ends up corrupt. My suggestion is to never use Divxfix but use Virtual Dub. The way i fixed it is I just used virtual dub and took out the bad parts. But you said in Windows it takes a long time to load? For that i just deleted a 1 sec(can be any length) off the end of the movie and it opens fine cause it reconstructed the ending. Hope this helps.

Well you see the thing is Virtual Dub says 'Indexing AVI File' but it only does the first five minutes of it, and if you try and seek within those 5 minutes it starts not responding, but it will play it from the beginning to the end of the 5 minutes. If you run it through DivFix Windows Media Player will play only the first 15 minutes, but it'll seek through them fine. What's going wrong?
