Problem with Avi movie file: Is this fixable?
September 4th, 2013
I’m having a some trouble with a movie .avi file I downloaded (not from this site ) and I’m hoping someone can tell me how can resolve this issue ( if at all possible ).
The movie file I have doesn’t show certain property details like , length, frame width/height, and bi rate.
Because of this, when I open the file and play it, I cannot skip through the movie to watch certain scenes and the video player says the movie is 00.01 seconds long even though the actual movie is 1:30 min long.
BTW, I know I could just download another copy, but the reason I want this one because it’s the only English dubbed version right now on the net ( to my knowledge )
So, do you guys think this problem is fixable or should I just scrap the thing?
Here are some screen shots of the problem too, Thanks

get AVIdemux
open the file in it and under tools select “rebuild I & B frames” then save it
get VLC Media Player and if it is broken it will rebuild the AVI file for you
Ok, thanks guys. I’m gonna go try it out now. I’ll post back here with how it went.
Thanks again
Ok, I tried both programs you guys suggested and neither worked for me.
I did find a program that solved the problem though called DivFix++
Thanks anyway guys.
Here’s the link to a guide on how to use the program if anyone else out there needs it.
