• Did not repair my AVI files

  Quick Download Small Footprint

  Cons

  Did not repair my AVI files

  Summary

  I easily got past the bug reported by others: When selecting the <Original File>, the interface places an asterix (*) at the beginning and end of the filename. If you try to [Rebuild], you receive a "File not found!" error message. Simply remove the leading and trailing asterix, and it will read the file. However, I tried Rebuilding a few AVI files, and the app was not successful. It did create a "Fixed" version of the AVI files (with a slightly different byte size), but those files would also not play correctly. It would be interesting to see if any others can get this to repair their files after correcting the <Original File> naming issue, but it did not work for me.

• FAILED to open an avi which other programs can open

  KkSlDaDecember 22, 2010

  Pros

  None as it could not open a very ordinary .avi file to work upon.

  Cons

  After using both browse and drag to place the correct location of an avi in the program, it said it could not find the file to open it

  Summary

  The only error in the smallish avi video for which I downloaded this program as a potential fix, in the first place, is a corrupted index, which most media players can fix on the fly for viewing, but do not save, hence trying this repair program. VLC media player opens it with warning about the index, Windows Media Player plays it without any warning. But Dema DivxFix could not even "find it" when given the correct path both by dragging the item to the program's file location field and by using the program's browse function, both of which "took" the location until you tell it to start processing. I notice that the only positive reviews for Dema DivxFix read like advertisements.

• landownerJune 20, 2007

  Pros

  Fixed two broken .avi files for me. Both were incomplete .rar unzips. It's worth a try if you have unplayable videos.

  Cons

  One file gave me an "cannot find file" error. I just had to rename the file and it worked.

• Not able to read file - tends to hang habitually on loading file

  Hitman4RealJune 16, 2007

  Pros

  It's free... ;-)

  Cons

  Tends to 'freeze' whilst loading a (700mb) file, when it came alive again it wasn't able to read the file (error: "file not found"). <p>NB: a similar app 'ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair' wás well able to fix the same file w/o a problem. This app was useless in this occasion.
