Hi there.
I was capturing a video with a webcam and my computer turned off acidentaly. Now i got a DivX AVI without header... 35Mb wasted! I saw that no program can read this file, some programs are saying that it is '0' FourCC, but it's a REAL file and I KNOW that it is a DivX 5.1.1 AVI file and I got other videos that i did using the same program.
With this information can i try to repair or fix the file? I even tried fix in coping/pasting the start and the end of good DivX AVI files in the bad one.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much for the atention and sorry about my english!

Impressive!
I'm not guaranteeing results with these steps, but they are worth trying.
First get MasterSplitter from http://www.tomasoft.com and VirtualDub from http://www.virtualdub.org
1. Make 3 or 4 copies of your corrupted file!!! It's very easy to go awry with this and overwrite it, so it's best to keep several copies. mark one or two as "never touch".
2. Make 3 folders. name them '1', '2', and '3'.
3. '1' is going to have a copy of the corrupt video. '2' is going to have a good video you're going to produce. '3' is going to have a rebuild.
4. Copy your corrupted file to '1'.
5. Make a video with the exact same video settings* as your corrupted file. Save it with the SAME NAME as your corrupted file. From now on I'll call it 'copy 2'.
6. Move 'copy 2' into folder '2'.
7. Open MasterSplitter. Browse to folder '1' and split the file into 50 kb** segments (you'll get a lot of parts - don't worry about it).
8. Do the same as 7. but do it in folder '2'.
9. Copy everything from '2' to '3' EXCEPT the original file and the .000 file.
10. Copy the .001 file from '1' to '3'. Overwrite if necessary.
11. On MasterSplitter go to the 'join' tab. browse to the '3' folder and select the .001 file. Then click join.
12. Open the resulting file in '3' in VirtualDub.
* These kind of settings: resolution (like 176x144, 320x240, 352x288, etc), color depth/pixel format (rgb24, rgb16, yuv9, other), codec settings.
*** In my testing 50 KB worked with 320x240 RGB24 video. You may have to tinker with the size for different resolution or depth videos.

Ok, it worked!
Just a correction, i got ONLY the .001 from folder '2' and pasted on folder '3'. The other files should be from folder '1'. It worked nice when I opened it on VirtualDub.
Thank you very much!!

basicaly i have the same sort of problem, my vidio file is 797 MB (835,772,416 bytes) so i have split it first into 900kb files tehn split teh first file into 50kb sections, and now i have the first 50 kb of my file and i wish to replace it with
the first 50kb of a decent working file, but i have to create an exact duplicate of the conditions of the file... how i work out the conditions of the file i have no idea any help???
Gspots analasis of my file is
-=vidio=-
4cc = xvid
name = XviD
runtime = 01:57:58 (212,131 fr)
x,y = 480x208 (2.31:1) [=30:13]
bitrate = 2069 kb/s
fps = 29.971
Qf = 0.692 bits/pixel
-=Audio=-
bitrate = 128 kb/s (64/ch, stereo)
fs = 44100 Hz
it dosnst say anything else...
would it be posible for one of you to create a vidio lasting a few seconds under that critiria so i can splice the start into my vidio
