HELP!!!

I’ve been constantly getting problems with g-spot reporting that the .avi file has a corrupt header?!?!?!

This has crept up on so many files it hurts to talk about it!!

Is there a cure, what’s causing all my .avi files I download to have corrupt headers??

Try opening the files with a different media inspection tool, ie. avicodec or videoinspector. You might also want to try to examine them with Avimedic:

But apart from that: It sounds like those files are fake or something. Oh, and also try to rename them to .mpg to see if the extension is wrong.

Download the program called Video Fixer. It fixes the headerss of .avi files but not mpeg files. hope this helps

You’ll often get that error when the avi is of incorrect size (usually because of truncation). A utility like divxfix (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divfix.html) can partially correct that problem by internally rematching the correct size.
