Sorry, no idea, VLC shows "Index broken".

The video doesn't play properly in XBMC, shows wrong running times, navigation not possible.

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

E.g.: Das Vermaechtnis der Tempelritter.avi

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...

And I do not even no what "remux" means, but...

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.

OK, so using it for just some files, it wouldn't be worth it.

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.

Thanks again.
