A damaged video file may be a frustrating experience. This guide will teach you exactly what causes video corruption, how to detect it, and how to repair video files. You can do it on your computer or on any device, online, no matter the cause of the issue.

Introduction

When a video file is broken due to various reasons, it is hard to get it back to its original state. Even if you could play it, it would not work with most video players. 

In reality, a video file is a collection of data that work together to produce the video you want to watch. One of these pieces of data is damaged, and then the video will be broken. For example, you cannot play a video file continuously when the index is damaged.

Check for the following symptoms to determine whether the video is corrupted. 

• Corrupt video files.
• When your video file has no sound, or it has only audio.
• Synchronization issues between audio and video.
• A black screen appears on videos. 
• An error occurred on the video header, slider, and frame.
• An error message such as "the video could not be played" or "the media file could not be loaded" occurs when playing videos.
• The video has glitchy movement, it is grainy, it is pixelated, it is frozen.
• Videos that flicker.
• Interruptions in video playback, or the playback is choppy or jerky.

File videos can be corrupted for different reasons. For example.

• An unexpected camera shutdown has occurred.
• Internet connection that is unstable.
• Your computer was improperly shut down.
• Media downloads or transfers that are interrupted or incomplete.
• An error occurred while writing or reading the data
