“I had saved many AVI video files on my desktop and recently while deleting few unwanted video files I accidentally erased important AVI videos. However, I restored back the files by recovery options but, the recovered AVI files are incomplete and not playing now. How to fix this problem and make AVI files to play again?”
AVI file is a popular video file format that consists of separate audio and video streams in a single file, hence the name Audio Video Interleave (AVI). These video files, introduced by Microsoft are playable in VLC media player, Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc. on Windows as well as Mac systems. However, as mentioned in the above situation, these AVI files can get corrupt that result in inaccessibility of the file.
How can a recovered AVI file reject to play?
When AVI videos are lost on systems, users go for third party video recovery products to get back these AVI files. And making use of unsecured tools might affect the AVI file structure during recovery process and thus video files get corrupt and reject to play after recovery. Sometimes, even though users make use of secured and safe recovery tool, occurrence of errors during recovery process might result in broken AVI video file. Not only AVI, if recovered DIVX, XVID, MOV, M4V and recovered MP4 file is corrupted or rejects to play then this can be due to the above given reasons.
