corrupt MOV H264 file
Is there any way to fix MOV H264 video file from Canon 5D? I can’t open it with any player or drop it onto timeline. Any good software can handle this?
big thanks for help

What version of Vegas are you using?

Steve,
I am using Vegas 10c but it’s not a matter of Vegas. The file is obviously corrupt (maybe the laptop crashed during transfering data), it doesn’t open in any player (VLC, WMP etc).
I am just looking for software that can fix MOV media files.

Hi Grzegorz,
I have been working using H.264 mov @ 1920x 1080p PAL from the 5D mark II for 2 years. I have never found a corrupt file from the 5D. However, I have tried Vegas 9 and they work Ok.ie., in a i7 Windows Professional Quad Core workstation using a Nvidia Quadro Fx 3800 video card with 12Gb RAM and 1.1 TB Hard Drive.Although they will work , all be it slowly, with a Dell Pentium 4, 3.2Gh 800 fsb with 2 Gb RAM.Ie., with hyper – threading.
We have not got SC5 Premiere Pro yet, and our work around is Import in say 30 clips of 1GB only into Premiere Elements 4,(this 3 year old software will handle H.264 mov files and also Export to Blu-Ray at H.264 or mpeg-2) Save>Render>Export to Movie as Microsoft AVi, uncompressed using it’s Media Encoder we save the file to Import into Premiere Pro as HDV/mpeg-2, avi to final edit , which makes it easier on the system. Note: the system uses about 11.8 Gb RAM to do this , so your computer would need to be up to it.

Try Aero Quartet Treasured service. I had a 4GB file corrupted from my 7D that was invaluable. A fathers toast to his daughter honoring her recently deceased mother.
$79 or $99 to fix the file. Can’t remember.
What size was your corrupted file BTW? Was it at the start or end of the card? Just trying to do a little detective work for the community.
