Step-by-step guide: Repairing AVI files with Yodot AVI Repair
What you need
- Windows (7–11) or macOS (see Yodot site for exact versions)
- The corrupted AVI/XVID/DIVX file and a working reference AVI (optional, for complex cases)
- 50+ MB free disk space
Steps
- Download and install Yodot AVI Repair from the official site (yodot.com/avi-repair).
- Launch the program.
- Click “Select” (or “Browse”) and choose the corrupted AVI file.
- (Optional) If prompted or recommended, provide a healthy reference AVI created by the same device/codec to improve reconstruction.
- Click “Repair” to start the process. Monitor the progress bar.
- When complete, use the program’s Preview feature to verify playback and audio sync.
- If the preview is satisfactory, click Save and choose a destination for the repaired file.
- Test the saved file in your preferred media player (VLC recommended).
- If issues remain, try re-running repair with a different reference file or contact Yodot support.
Tips & troubleshooting
- Try a different media player (VLC) before repair to rule out player codec issues.
- Use the free demo to preview results before purchasing.
- For files on removable media, copy the file to your computer before repairing.
- If repair fails, note error messages and contact Yodot support with sample and system details.
When to use alternatives
- Minor header or index issues: try VLC’s “Always fix” AVI option first.
- Severe corruption or missing data: professional data-recovery services may be required.
