CNET Editors' review
This simple yet effective utility fixes corrupted video files in AVI, DivX, XviD, RM, RMVB, ASF, WMV, AC3, and WMA formats. The self-explanatory interface lets you easily manage numerous files. To fix a file, all you do is select it and click Repair. The repair process runs quickly and can be stopped at any moment. Unfortunately, the program offers no configuration options. You can't convert among file types, adjust any output parameters, or even choose the directory for or name of repaired files. Nevertheless, this application does its main job well enough that we can reccomend it for simple video repairs.Publisher's Description
From repairvideo.com:

"Doesn't Work for WMA"
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
None. Worthless waste of time.
Cons
Recovered wma file is only as long as the part that would play in Windows Media Player.
The damaged files (before recovery) will play completely in VLC, but the bad spots are silent.
This program will not fix the file so it's playable in Windows Media Player. -
"Looking for three years, this is the first that worked."
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
Able to fix half my corrupt videos. Not sure how to fix the remaining AVIs. If you have a digital camera always move the files through the usb cable not the flash card! That's how mine got messed up.
Cons
Would like to give them some money for helping me out but $30 seeems to be too much.
Summary
Works. Small program.

"Does exactly what it is advertised to do..."
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
Very easy to use and install
Cons
None. Some people complain about lack of options, but this is free software. I appreciate the person(s) who took the time to write the code and then make it available for free.

"ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82 is very effective"
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
I have tried out this software now on a couple of .avi files. The first file was recovered enough to play and recognise, but was not watchable. The second file was completely recovered. Both times I used the Advanced Mode, so I don't know how effective Fast Mode is.
Cons
No problems

"Sets off my antivirus."
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
I will not run
Cons
Sets off my antivirus.
Summary
Antivius says it has ZugoAH in the installer malicious code.

"Did enough; needed a conversion program to finish job"
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
Created a full-size temporary avi file which had the corrected codec tags
Cons
The repaired file was only of size 2k. However I used a conversion program on the repair_tmp file; converting it to mp4. The conversion program could not open the original (bad) file.
Summary
I now have a playable video; albeit now in a different format. It took an additional program but who cares? This repair program did the heavy lifting.

"didn't seem to fix very much"
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
I think I managed to fix a couple of avi and wmv videos ...
Cons
... but most of the time it failed. Nice idea, though.
Summary
worth a try, but don't expect too much.

"Is this malware / spyware?"
Version: ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair 1.82
Pros
None so far
Cons
- Managed to shut down ZoneAlarm Twice
- Takes up huge Virtual Memory (1Gb)
- Did not workSummary
I had a 250MB video file (wmv). It woud play in Winamp, but I could not jump into any position in the file (I think there was a problem with the timecode...).
So I downloaded this program and ran it. It seems to be in a endless loop stuck at 129MB during conversion. The program is taking up 1Gb of virtual memor (though only 7MB of physical memoty). I have no idea what it is doing.
Of major concern, is that it managed to shut down ZoneAlarm twice (Although ZoneAlarm restart, but it of concern that my anti-virus security software was shutdown and Video program was running and free to do anything).
Also, ZoneAlarmg ave a warning message to say that I had changed the date/time backwards. I did no such thing. And perhaps this software was trying to fool ZoneAlarm that I did not have a valid license and making it shut down? (i.e. people sometimes turn the clock back if software licence has expired). I have no idea why it would think that as I have a 2 year license to ZoneAlarm Securty Sofware.
I advise people to be caution and not to install this program.
Also, the executable is RepairVideo.exe from www.repairvideo.com (I think there is another program on Download.com with the same name?).
I am very worried.... ZoneAlarm is running a full scan has has been running for 8 minutes and it was not even scanned single file!!
In any case install at your own risk. May be there is a genuine reason for all of this behaviour?. -

Summary
