Corrupted MTS FILE problem

[SkyShazad]

Ok I have a few MTS files that need Sorting Im desperate
I saved them on my computer But I already knew they were damaged but saved them anyway
Majority of them work thats fine but final I think about 10 dont import or play or anything
File size file name is, I just cant fix them. Been online down loaded a lot of software
but there all taking about recovering data from card... thats now what I want.. I already hav the Files
I just wanna play them even if it fixing them on low quality
The video camera i was using was Sony NEX-FS100

any help would be Awesome Thanks in advance guys

Open them in mediainfo and see if it recognizes it. Put it in view/text mode and paste the info into here
if you're not sure.
A second possibility is the GDSMUX program in the haali splitter package.
Open it and see if it will re-package as an MKV.

Hi Davexnet
thanks for your quick reply
I Tried that GDSMUX software doesn't allow you to add MTS file as a Source but allows it when you try adding it as an attachment.
It does make an MKV file but bascially does nothing
Below is the info of mediainfo file Iv copy and pasted 2 the first one is the corrupted file and the 2nd one is a correct file so you can see the
difference in file and information... One again thanks for trying to help me out mate..

If you don't mind posting the video for further review, upload the good and the bad to mediafire.com
and put the URL's in here. Myself and others will take a look.

[SkyShazad]

Here you go Davexnet
2 files here one working one with problems
Something very interesting happened
While I zipped the Corrupted file.. The file size Shrunk too an extremely small size
and when when I unzipped the file again the file went back to its 90MB or so
anyway Just have to warn you about the video
Its some really Bad Indian Wedding Dancing lol
anyway its the smallest size footage i cud get of each file

[johns0]

Because the file shrunk so much in zipping it means its missing a lot of data so it cant be fully fixed.

[SkyShazad]

Here is the unzipped file version, hopefully this will help
Regardless if this problem is solved or not I really really appreciate you guys trying to help me
I cant thank you enough Seriously
Thanks
SKY
link below is of the Not zipped version of the corrupted file above

[johns0]

There's nothing in the mts file,it zips to 80kb meaning there's nothing in there to salvage.

[davexnet]

AS was alluded to, the corrupt file contains nothing except x'00''s all the way through. It's worthless.
If you want to check it out your self, open Virtualdub/tools/ hex editor and load the file.

Yeah I uploaded the file again above but Iv put the file here again here
without it being zipped

[davexnet]

Well I did download it again, and the zip file posted earlier was a true representation. The file contains nothing except binary zeroes.
As I mentioned, you can look at it yourself and see. Assuming you haven't reused the camera, perhaps try a different recovery program? recuvu, for example.
