Ok noob talking so be prepared to be patient!!! :helpsmile:

I downloaded some movies....
[tmd]the.lord.of.the.rings.return.of.the.king.(esoteric).ts.(2of3).avi
The other two in the set work fine but this one does not. While downloading I used AVI preview to check if it was ok and the right film and it was, everything was going smoothly. When I finished I opned it and it didnt work, the error in the topic title came up. So I went and got KCF to fix this "corrupted" file. I went and fixed it and once again there was this error. <_< Therefore I went to G-spot to see if I had the Codec&#39;s and it showed that there was a bad file chunk in the frame data. So I need to redownload this section. Does anyone know any better corrupted file fixer? How do I determine the corrupted file section?

THANKS
:)

KCF works very well and is quite easy to use with movies, you will need &#39;Filemon&#39; (a free file monitor)

play the movie and as it hits the bad patch pause filemon, subtract 2MB from filemon and also add 2MB, this gives you a 4MB window where the bad frame is, use these figures for KCF
Filemon available here (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml)


a completely different approach would be to cut the bad frame(s) out, you can do this using &#39;VirtualDub&#39;

hope this helps

Thanks, I went through all of that and tried each one of those things. When I send it through Virtual DubMod it runs extremely slow and comes up with some errors saying something or other, I wont waste anyone elses time and just download another copy with a different name, its just a pain in the butt to deal with so many errors, one after the other. :huh:

if you just want to play it without burning or converting, have you tried &#39;VideoLan&#39;
it can sometimes play through errors
