How could I play (and navigate in a video) with broken index?

Quote: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.OK, so using it for just some files, it wouldn't be worth it.
Quote:"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.OK, I tried these files in VLC, it repaired, respectively tried to repair the index (but does not store, I couldn't find a way at least), but the files didn't play properly or you couldn't navigate.
