Corrupt Xvid Avi File help

[][v][OTOBOT]

When I played the file in BS Player the video froze, the audio kept playing though. An alert came up "Bs Player has to close"... blah blah. I have run the file through DivFix & then through Avi Preview. When finished rebuilding in Avi Preview it started to play & at the same part it froze in the same way audio still running but video frozen. It crashed that program as well. Is there still a way to salvage the file? I've not had a file crash BS or Avi Preview before. Also I was wondering will DivFix repair the "Xvid" Avi file like a Divix file? Thanks guys!...... Uh & Gals!!!

Yes Divfix will work with xvid just as well as divx, and it sounds to me like that's what it is, a bad frame... You should check it with divfx, and if it finds errors try checking the "cut out bad parts" and leave "keep original file" checked, so divfix won't overwrite the original, but it will make a new copy of it with DIVfix at the front of the filename. It might need to cut out some frames, I don't know how much, depending on how bad the corruption. You can also try checking for bad frames with VDub.
