Hi, so I accidentally deleted my entire external hard drives. I downloaded a restore program and restored many of the video files (without file title sigh*). I noticed that some of the video files I played after restoring would play for some time and then go to a black screen until the video time ended. Furthermore, all of these restored files were restored with the same size they had originally, so files that are able to play partially would have unplayable part still tacked onto the file. I wish I could keep the good parts of the video and delete the corrupted black screen part. Is there a program that would help me sort through the video files that have back corruption and the ones that don’t? Is there a way to somehow restore the video titles for easier sorting. Also, I’ve heard of video file repair programs, could this work in this situation?
