“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!!!”
Are you stuck with a partially downloaded .avi file that neither allows you to play in your favorite media player nor in any media player? A missing header is probably the main cause for this issue. 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.
The AVI files become incomplete when a part of the video file information goes missing. Hence it refuses to play in media player. When you’re downloading any .avi file from internet and it is interrupted in between due to abrupt system shutdown, downloading application crash, download error, CRC error, etc. then those AVI files will be partially downloaded.
