5.5 Repairing Damaged Video Files
If the computer has been shut down improperly, e.g. due to power failure, use this function to repair
damaged video files.
Tip: When a computer has been shut down improperly, the first thing you do before starting GV-VMS
is to run Repair Database Utility. After running the Utility, go to the ViewLog and check video events.
You should be able to play all video files at this step. However, if you see a question mark after
clicking on a file, the problem may be that its recording process was interrupted. To repair the file, run
the AVI Repair Utility and follow the steps below.
1. Double-click AVIRepairAPI.exe in the GV folder. This dialog box appears.

2. Click the Browse button to find the damaged video file.
3. If you know the codec and resolution of the file, select Manual, select Compression Type and
type Resolution. Alternatively, select Auto but it takes longer time to repair with this selection.
4. Click the Repair button to start.
