Index broken, how to play video? - Dirki - 2013-04-06
How could I play (and navigate in a video) with broken index?
RE: Index broken, how to play video? - Ned Scott - 2013-04-06
broken index? like a bluray or DVD image?
RE: Index broken, how to play video? - Dirki - 2013-04-06
Sorry, no idea, VLC shows "Index broken".
The video doesn't play properly in XBMC, shows wrong running times, navigation not possible.

Remux using ffmpeg.

Thank you nickr,
Sorry, I am not quite sure what that might mean.

ffmpeg -i yourfile.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy yournewfile.avi

what is the filename of a file you can't play?

That means re-convert the source material to make a new video file, and play the new one instead. (I believe)

Setting up and using ffmpeg is not trivial, depending on what kind of computer and level of computer knowledge you have.
Any software that can remux without recoding the video and audio streams may do the job. Or, if you can get a non-broken file from the original source, that may be the easiest way to go.

OK, I do not even know what ffmpeg is, may be a program or so like it sounds; I know how to shut off a computer...

Quote: Or, if you can get a non-broken file from the original source, that may be the easiest way to go.Ah, well, something I do understand; yes, indeed, that truly is indeed what exactly is my opinion, but unfortunately....
OK, I rather will delete the corrupted file, I guess.
Many thanks.

ffmpeg is software, yes. It is probably the most versatile tool for manipulating video files into different forms. But it is run by command line and there is a steep learning curve.
"Remux" means to take the two data streams (basically one video and one audio) out of the container file and put them back together ("mux") into a new container file. This process can sometimes fix the kind of problem you have. It doesn't require alteration of the basic video and audio streams so it is pretty fast.

Thank you, Glorious1.

Thanks again.
