| A few days ago my backup recording drive decided to crap out on me and I ended up having to quick format ti to regain access. Since then I was able to pull my fraps recordings off of the drive but I have having issues getting the files to work now. In VDub, when I try to compress them I get this error seconds after the render starts: An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'frapsvid'... ...reading address 0D534000... ...while decompressing video frame 136 (VideoSource.cpp:1778)... ...while using input buffer at 0d510000-0d52db57 (VideoSource.cpp:1777)... ...while using output buffer at 03b10000-03bf1003 (VideoSource.cpp:1776)... ...while running thread "Processing" (thread.cpp:152). when I try to use divx compression. Other times I just get an "Unrecognized frame format" message then trying to render it out with no compression. I have not tried putting the recovered files into Vegas yet. I just tried and Vegas cannot open the avi files, probably because their indexes are damaged. When I try to fix them in DivFix/++ I get a multitude of errors and then the programs freeze. |

| Try this: VirtualDub => File => Open video file => Check "Ask for extended options after this dialog" => select the video and press open => in the import options dialog check "Re-derive keyframe flags" and "Open in AVIFile compatibility mode". Edit: after you have opened the video, go on Video => Error mode and set it to "Conceal errors and resume decoding at next keyframe" or "Decode even if the result may be garbled", the same for audio. If you post a small video here, then I can check directly. |

Alright I tried both of the error mode settings that you suggested but I got the same error as before (the access violation error) and even then I tried to open one of the video files, it got a short ways through re-keying and threw the access violation error as well. I am beginning to think that when the drive crashed something happened to the data itself and it got fried. It may have something to do with the fraps codec anyway, I am still not sure what cause the initial issues but they happened right after Vegas crashed while rendering the footage on the drive with the same Unrecognized frame format message I am getting at present sometimes. I have a hunch that it is some how all connected. I tried reinstalling Fraps and then the latest version but I am still having issues with that frame format message at time. I am going to tinker around with the settings some more and see if I can not figure out how I got this one video to compress earlier then try your suggestions with that one and those settings. Realistically speaking though I will probably lose these video files. |

| Have you tried to use ffdshow-tryouts to decode Fraps? It is more tolerant to damaged videos. |

I found a solution I think, at least for the ones I have already done (going on a case by case basis at the moment). I am loading the videos into VLCP and letting it repair the index. Then I am playing the files back and recording those with fraps. so far it has worked fairly well. I have 83 files to do though, so I might run into one that is really messed up, hope fully I do not though. I have not tried your second suggestion yet as this is working for me atm, but I did download the tryout codecs just in case. Thanks for the help. |

| If you use the Gabest AVI splitter + ffdshow-tryouts (with the FRAPS decoder enabled in the options) you will probably be able to play all your damaged fraps videos without even fix them. |
