AVI or Audio Video Interleave<\/em> is a file format and multimedia container developed by Microsoft in 1992. AVI has an organizational structure for storing data. Video data in an AVI file structure is divided and stored in two lists namely List Chunk<\/strong> and Index Chunk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any information is missing from either of the lists, the AVI video file becomes broken or unplayable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you are facing a similar situation where your AVI file is broken or corrupt, no need to worry. We have just the solutions you were looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before going into the repair mechanism there are some steps you should take. This is to make sure that you can confirm that the AVI file itself is corrupted and when you attempt to repair the file it does not increase the extent of corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong>: Try to play the video in a different media player as sometimes the issue may not be with the video itself but the media player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong>: If you are a Mac user, consider playing the video on a different operating system. Since the macOS Catalina update 32-bit applications are not supported and so your video may not play properly if it has 32-bit pointers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong>: In case you downloaded the video re-download it from the source. Sometimes corruption may arise due to interruptions during download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong>: In case your video file is heavy, it might not meet the system requirements to play the video. So check your video properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the system requirements are not met, and you have tried different media players. Now repair is the only option left, but before attempting video repair make a copy of the video file so that you will have a backup of the file in case any method increases the extent of corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let us get into repairing AVI files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many methods, available to repair corrupt AVI files, but not all these methods are equally effective or safe. So, we have shortlisted some top effective and safe methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
