Updated on January 12th, 2021

Stellar Repair for Video has become more powerful and effective after the key inclusion of ‘Advance Repair’ feature in the new version. The upgrade to 3.0 not just improves the overall user experience with the software but significantly increase the success rate of the video repair.

It is a known fact that Stellar Repair for Video is an easy-to-use application to fix corrupt, damaged or broken videos taken from any camera. Be your bad videos from DSLR, GoPro, surveillance cameras, CCTVs, drones or mobile phones, the software is well equipped to repair all. Available for both Windows and Mac users, Stellar Repair for Video 4.0 supports AVI, ASF, WMV, MKV, FLV, DIVX, WEBM, MJPEG, MPEG, AVCHD, MTS, MOV, MP4, M4V, 3G2, 3GP, and F4V videos repair.

Now with its new ‘Advance Repair’ feature in the 3.0 version, the software makes a remarkable progress in its video repair capability.

This video illustrates how the software functions for different file formats:

What is unique about ‘Advance Repair’ feature?

‘Advance Repair’ feature is added to deliver more power and better performance to the software. It is a feature that makes the application stand out among other video repair tools in the market. Significantly increasing the success rate of video repair, ‘Advance Repair’ is also a relief for those who lose their videos due to severe corruption.

The feature uses the technique of ‘Sample File’ as reference to repair videos that are severely corrupt.

A ‘Sample File’ is a working video file created from the same device and of the same format as your bad video file. For example, a sample file for a corrupt video shot from Canon EOS-1D will be the working file shot from the same camera model. The file can be of any size.

The software uses the information from the sample file as reference and repairs the highly corrupt videos.

The video fixer’s ‘Advance Repair’ works in all situations. It repairs corruption and errors that occur due to changes in file format or header corruption, video compression issues, virus attacks, incomplete download, bad sectors in storage media, improper system shutdown, or file read and write errors. You can repair all kinds of severe visual and audio distortions in the videos through this application.

Step-by-Step Guide to Repair Severely Corrupt Videos using ‘Advance Repair’

    The repair won’t complete. Gets stuck at the same time every time. No error, just no progress.

      Hi Talha, As the video file is corrupted while filming, then it might be possible the sectors got damaged. Our software works on the preview principle. The demo version of the software allows you to preview the initial 60 seconds of video from your file. If you have tried advance repair and still the file is corrupted then you may contact our technical support from below link: https://www.stellarinfo.com/support/

    The preview button isn’t working for me, I have “repaired” some files but when I click “preview” nothing happens. I’m not willing to purchase the full version of the software until I know it’s going to work. Can you help please?

    Hi,

    I used the Advanced Repair feature for an MP4 and a WMV file. The program said the repair was successful, but when I pressed “Preview”, nothing played. The output files also did not play. What could possibly be wrong with these two files? And, why is Stellar unable to fix them?

      Hi Kyle, We would like to inform you that, the software works on “what you see is what you can repair”. That means the files will be repaired in the same manner as you were able to see them in the preview window after the scanning is complete. If the preview for the repaired file is not available then repair of the file is not possible using the application.

    Hi, all the video files I recovered came with a much smaller size: The 20mb came with 2mb, the 32mb came with 3,2mb… Although the size is smaller, and the video only for seconds, the image quality is still very good (during the recovered 5 seconds). Any idea?

      Hi Carlos, In case your repaired video file size is less, It means your video files is severely corrupted. I suggest you can use Advance repair option in our software. If the issue is same, you can contact our support through support[@]stellarinfo.com or call +1-877-778-6087. They will help you to resolve your problem. Thanks!

    I have downloaded the trial and followed all the steps using a video from the same phone same frame rate shot at the same night and it seemed to convert just fine then I watched the preview and it was in slow motion. I located the temp file and checked the details and its repaired at 13.5FPS and not the 30fps that was in the other video and the audio is 27kbps . I’m really not sure why it would get the scale size and the video bitrate correct but not get the FPS or the audio rate correct. If I am to shell out $50 I need it to be correct. Is there a way to adjust the framerate manually?

      Hi Spudd, No, you can’t adjust the frame-rate manually Adobe after Effect or Premier Pro CC to resolve missing frames issues.

      If the repaired file less in size, it means the video are not fully recorded or more corrupted. You can contact our support email support[@]stellarinfo.com or call 1-877-778-6087. Our Support team will help you soon.
