Easy availability of high resolution mobile cameras and compute power has led to mass production, storage, and processing of video files at all levels — from consumers to corporate.

From shooting a documentary film, wedding album or live music performance to editing vlogs, ad shoots, or outdoor vacation shots, video production has seen massive growth.

Correspondingly, video corruption situations have also become numerous and frequent, with an unusual demand build up for restoring videos that were lost in myriad situations.

One may lose video files due to drive corruption or accidental deletion, which are more common due to human errors. However, a video file can also get corrupt or deleted due to malware infection, hardware issues, or software failure. File overwriting after deletion is also a reason that can lead to file corruption.

While you can recover deleted videos from SD cards and other storage media with a data recovery tool, you will require a separate video repair tool to recover corrupt video files.

However, with an advanced data recovery software such as Stellar Data Recovery Premium, you can recover as well as repair corrupt video files in just a few clicks. It’s the only data recovery software that is equipped with a video repair tool, which can recover and repair virtually any video file type.
