Hi all, Newby here. If I'm in the wrong place please let me know. Also, I know just a bit above nothing about this stuff.
I recorded an AVI video but the cam apparently crashed before the meta (header) data was calculated and saved. The video plays fine on VLC. Even though all 3 minutes of the video plays, the time bar at the bottom of the screen shows it is an 8 second video. Also, when I right click on the file in windows explorer to get file properties, general shows 22 MB, but the details tab is completely blank.
I have other videos taken with the same cam that processed properly. They all play and the property details are complete...height, width, etc.
I have a program called HxD where I can see the Hex data and the differences between one of the good AVIs and the bad one.
I have loaded several "AVI Repair" programs but they say there is a problem and can't download or repair.
OK, now to what I need. The file needs to be joined with others but the joining software says there is a problem with the header and can't complete the task. Is there anyway I can calculate the # frames,width, height, file size, run time, and everything else that needs to be in the header (and probably indexing) so I can create a new header to make this thing work?
Thanks

One other note...GSpot says found bad length value 56 at file offset 0x00000001c if that helps any.
Thanks again -
Thanks Cornucopia. What's OBS? I'm trying to keep the same resolution as the other joined video for this presentation from the same cam which is pretty high.

Thanks jagabo. I've opened the convert/save, but I don't see the Keep Original Button. I checked for updates and I have the current. It did resave but still no details properties. When I brought it into Replay Joiner, the file name says AVI but joiner says its a mp4. Any ideas?

VLC
File -> Convert/Save
Add file... select the source video
Press Convert/Save button.
The Profile you use doesn't much matter because you aren't encoding anything.
Press the little Wrench button on the Profile line.
Encapsulation tab: pick container (some may not work, you'll have to try a few different ones)
Video Codec Tab: Keep Original Video Track
Audio Codec Tab: Keep Original Audio Track
Press Save button at the bottom of the dialog.
Set the Destination File.
Press Start button. -
It may be impossible to get them to join "natively" but if you don't mind re-encoding the files shouldn't be a problem as
long as they are playable
