Fix corrupted DivX files
There's nothing more annoying than a DivX file that won't play or has been corrupted because of a virus or hard drive failure.
The good news is that you can repair some of these files with DivXRepair, solving issues such as image freezing, loss of sound and discolored pixels. Simply browse to the file you want to inspect, and DivX Repair will automatically detect and eliminates bad frames.
This searching process can take a while though and it doesn't always find frames that are damaged. If it does find the corrupted frames, it cuts out the bad parts and re-splices it together so that the frame may be missing but at least it plays properly. You may notice some slight interference in the image when this happens but it's a small price to pay for having a functioning file.
If your DivX files are corrupted or refuse to play, DivXRepair can help put them back together with minimal image loss.

Wold not repair a large corrupted divx file.
I had a folder with 2 avi files and one divx file in it, the divx file being corrupted. The gui of DivXRepair, upon browsing to that folder, saw one of the avi files, but not the other, at first. After opening and closing DivXRepair several times, it eventually started seeing both avi files, but it never did see the divx file. However, typing the exact file name (filename.divx) into the "open" window after browsing to the proper folder allows it to seemingly load the file. However, it
did not do anything to the file in question, so I have no idea whether it will repair anything or not. It didn't repair that one, and I've never had a corrupted avi or divx file other than that one to test it on.
On the ratings that have to be filled in for a review, I cannot give any rating to things such as stability. I've only used it (or tried to use it) on this one occasion, so there's no way I can give it a decent numerical evaluation. I tested it on the avi files, but it showed that they weren't corrupted, which is certainly true, since they are perfect. What you do is browse to the folder with your files in it, select the file from the list that's populated in the open window, then select the file in the DivXRepair gui, then click repair. It then comes up with a bad frame list.
It might be, in this case, that the file is too large for the program: it was a 1.34 gb file, almost 4 hours long, I had downloaded on March 10, 2010. The sound was good but the video was completely corrupted.
Pros:
Program is simple
Cons:
Functionality More
