What it is

VidRepair is a Windows application that repairs corrupted video containers locally on your machine. It supports MP4, MOV, 3GP, MKV, WebM, AVI, FLV, and WMV. The app attempts as many as nine recovery strategies in sequence and stops when one creates a valid, playable output. A healthy clip from the same camera and settings can assist recovery of missing container metadata, although a reference file is not required for every repair. Multiple files can be queued for sequential processing, and a failed file does not stop the queue. Processing stays local: the maker says files are not uploaded and no account or internet connection is required. VidRepair reads the source and writes output to a folder you choose, keeps details of the last 50 repairs locally, and checks each result with ffprobe before marking success. Previewing is available before saving. The Free plan is free; a Commercial license is €29 as a one-time purchase.
