191600 2003-11-13 08:40:00 well, basically, i finally downloaded a huge mov file in a zip folder. after finding it was corrupted and i could not unzip it, i found a zip repair program and fixed the zip file. but then, after opening the mov file, it just stays on that one frame after about a minute and the music/sound keeps playing. i am assuming it is corrupted but i cant find a .mov repair program. i have seen hundreds for avi, mpeg, and all other windows formats but i cant seem to find the mov one, any ideas?

See what your download manager can do if you used one

191603 2003-11-13 09:53:00 Are you sure the file completed downloading properly?

Zip has primitive recovery algorithms, if any. Rar is much better.

Try renaming the file extension (.mov -> .avi or .mpeg).

Where did you download it from. If from a P2P network it could be a 'fake' or useless programs like kazaa can corrupt downloads quite easily.

A movie editor program might be able to import the video stream, and then you could manually cut out the corrupt frames and then convert the new file.
