[videoblogging] Repair AVI files?

2007-11-06 Thread Kenya Allmond 
Hi all,

A large number of the AVI files that my camera creates are corrupted.  Some 
will not open at all while others open but have flickering and static.  I don't 
know how it happened; it could be that they were damaged when I copied them 
onto my hard drive but that really doesn't matter at this point.  I've already 
tried to see if I could recover them from the memory card but I had already 
overwritten them.

Does anyone know of a tool that I can use that will repair (or salvage whatever 
can be salvaged from) the videos?  I did a Google search but don't really want 
to install some random program.  I'd rather get recommendations first.  I'm on 
XP but have access to Macs as well.

Thanks.

Just took a peek at CNET and got these results

I'm sure you can find something in that list.  Good luck.

Cheers :D
