AVi Header Corruption Gspot

[adiasangel]

Hi,
I have some DVD that were sent to me. The DVD's are AVI files burned with pinnacle studio and are over 4GB each. *sigh*

When you play it in windows media player you can watch a couple minutes then you get:
File is not in the correct format: error(8004022F)

When I analyze them in gspot I get the error:
Corrupt AVI header /RIFF:AVI and then an offset and value are given.
Is this cause the file is over 2GB?

I have virtual dub and when I insert the disks it begins to try and fix the header. It ran for over an hour but I assume it is because the file was on a DVD and not on the drive where it could add the missing blocks, is that right?

I can't copy the file to my hard drive to try and fix it either. When I try to copy the file to my hard drive it errors out. I can't even copy it using a DVD burner. I don't have pinnacle studios to even see if it will play in there, so how can fix this?

Thanks so much from a desperate Jr Robotics coach

The disk is corrupt and can't be read properly. Check for scratches, fingerprints, etc. You could try reading it on other drives -- some do a better job than others. Other than that you're SOL.

Try to pull the files off the Disc with Isobuster.

Nope, the disks are fine. The disks were even varified before they were sent to me

When you copy a file from a DVD there is no attempt made to analyse the contents. If you can't copy the file your DVD drive simply can't read the disk.

We have tried to copy these disks to the hard drive using 3 different DVD roms on 3 different OS's. Any other ideas?
