RepairMyVideo is a web service that tries to restore damaged video files by rebuilding the container index that helps a player read them. It accepts MP4, MOV, MKV and AVI, with listed codec support including H.264, HEVC, MPEG-4, Canon Cinema MJPEG and AverMedia c285 captures. Recovery runs automatically, and a recovered file must pass an automated playability check before download. A reference clip from the same camera is optional and may help when the damaged file’s structure is fully destroyed. Sony XDCAM/XAVC card folders can be combined into one MP4; Panasonic AVCHD and Canon Cinema recordings are handled as separate clips. Direct uploads are listed up to 25 GB, while browser-packaged camera-card folders work up to about 4 GB. Larger files can be supplied with a Google Drive link. The service is free during beta and includes analysis, repair, preview and download. It does not promise recovery, and it cannot help with missing or zero-byte files, DRM or streaming problems, or videos that play but look wrong.
Who it is for
It suits people trying to recover playable video files from supported formats, including users working with supported camera-card recordings. It may be useful when a file is too large for direct upload and can be provided through Google Drive.
