CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This narrowly focused program delivers on its promise, though the demo seems somewhat watered down. True to its name, Video Fixer repairs video files in seven formats, including ASF, WMV, and RM. The polished interface boasts multiple buttons, including those for checking, fixing, and removing the index for partially downloaded video files. The main window contains a statement some users may find disturbing: "We aren't responsible for the destroyed files during recovery." Still, in our tests, the program repaired a problematic file without issue, though the demo won't let you access the checking or indexing functions. Beyond what we've already mentioned, don't expect to find extra features such as splitting, merging, or converting tools. However, if you have a large library of videos on your PC, it could pay to have Video Fixer on hand.Publisher's description
From Video-Fixer :Video Fixer repairs DivX, AVI, ASF, WMV, WMA, and RM files that cannot be played or dragged, that are not completely downloaded, or that are partly damaged or corrupted.

Version: Video Fixer 3.23
Pros: It promises but...
Cons: ...I can't use it. Counter Spy, the best antispyware program of 2007 according to CNET, reported a Trojan and deleted the file.

Version: Video Fixer 3.23
"It worked, but I found I could do the same thing for free"
Pros: It fixed an .avi that couldn't play in Windows Media Player or in VLC!
(VLC player can play nearly anything.)
Cons: After I saw the way it work I remembered a freeware thingy I used to use called DivFix. DivFix fixed it just as well as Video Fixer.
However, DivFix only fixes .avi and .divx.
I honestly don't know how Video Fixer it would work on other video formats like wmv and mpg, I don't have any broken vids of those formats to test it on.

Version: Video Fixer 3.23
"Infected with Trojan ... according to Bitdefender Antivirus"
Pros: The installer managed to get downloaded a lot, well done, but I can't say more because I couldn't check the program myself because ... see Cons.
Cons: My antivirus program is Bitdefender and it put up a warning and automatically removed the installer as soon as the downloaded. The message was:
"File ...\videofixer.exe
infected with Trojan.Generic.26428"
Might be a false positive, of course, but, as opposed to viruses that are on the system already, this one is completely removed and, it appears, I can't send it to Bitdefender. I also tried download Video Fixer from a two other sites, one of them one of the major software download sites. All links on other sites I tried didn't work. The impression all these factors create is that something isn't quite right with Video Fixer, perhaps the Trojan it is supposed to carry has only very recently been identified. Just writing this as a preliminary warning, I'm not expert enough to be sure there is really a trojan. I'd like to know for sure if there really is, and if so, how it's possible it remained undiscovered for so long. Till then, better safe than sorry.
