How Can I Fix Incomplete AVI File?

“Hi everybody, I took 3 week for downloading Prison Break serial on my PC which is of AVI file format. Unfortunately, it got incompletely downloaded due to some network issue at the end of download completion. Only few AVI files can be played without any problem and rest of them freeze in between while playing on media player. Again I can’t spend so many days for downloading serial and I am not sure it won’t get interrupted by anything. So, I kindly request you to suggest any solution for fixing incomplete AVI file problem. Thanks in advance!!!”

The AVI file actually consists of a header part in which the entire information of video clip will be stored. If this header gets corrupted or damaged, then you can’t play such movie clips on any media player. If you want to make this AVI files playable, then you must fix file header using relevant AVI repair utility.
