MTS File Repair
 

I had another case of a corrupt card after shooting on a GH3. I was able to recover all the files with Recuva, but the MTS files are playing strangely. I think this is because the video information was detached from the meta information -- there are corresponding CPI files that were also recovered. Anyone have any idea how I can repair? I've tried researching software options, but none seem to accept MTS (even though they say they do).

I tried Handbrake, but it doesn't like the MTS files.

Thanks!

Try MPEG2Repair whose author has since retired the web page you access it from, but I have attached the zipped .exe file so that you can make use of it. (It's still available online but I can't vouch for the other sites).

Another programme which has a "fix it along the way" type function is Avidemux.

Let us know how you go.

Thanks Andrew! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do anything with the files.

Are you able to open the files at all with the software? (perhaps you have a sample file that you can make available?)

Will MediaInfo open the files and report the video and audio elementary stream information ?

If so, there might be a chance of re-muxing the files i.e. re-writing the mts (m2ts) container, if that's where the errors are.
