Ulitimate Guide for Corrupted Video on Sony Handycam

I have and important video taken with a Sony Handycam HDR-cx300. It plays back fine when I check it on my camera, but I cannot open it with any video play software on my PC, even after converting its format. Adobe Media Converter says that the file is corrupted, but it can still be played on my camera. Is there a way to access the video?

You can first try copying the file directly from the camcorder to your PC without help from an SD card reader or something. If it still cannot be played, you may try to repair your corrupted video on Sony Handycam with the help of EaseUS Fixo Video Repair - an all-in-one video repair tool. 

Here are the detailed steps you can refer to:

Besides using video repair software, you can also try opening your video with another media player, like a VLC. If you coincidentally have already downloaded it, you can also perform VLC repair:

• Open VLC media player
• Select "Tools" from the upper left and go to "Preferences"
• Select the "Input/Codecs" under the Simple Preferences box
• Find the "Damaged or Incomplete AVI file" section
• Select "Always fix" from the drop-down menu and click "Save"
