![]() ![]() What's strange is that when I opened the file in VirtualDub, its window that says "reconstructing missing index block" skipped ahead to about 3.75 gigs into the video. Also, when I ran Virtual Dub, it recovered a few minutes toward the end of the video (concluding with the 45 seconds I'd already managed to get).

So is there any hope? What should I do? Please help me if you can! As I said, the file is four gigs in size, so I figure there's gotta be at least something salvagable in it besides those 45 seconds. I went ahead and downloaded a program called "ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair" to see if that could help, but all it was able to do was create an avi file consisting of a random 45 second segment from toward the end of the video.
