How to open a corrupted BRAW video file?

PostSun Apr 13, 2025 8:09 pm

I filmed a outdoor scene with the BMvideo assist. It stopped recording on the Samsung t7 drive, because I hadn't updated it yet.

The file opens in BMD raw player,
But not in davinci resolve.
It's there away to repair the BRAW video file?

Thanks Arthur

Hi,
I formatted an external hard drive with a lot of files, and after recovering most of them with Recuva, I was stuck with a couple corrupted braw files.

After many many tries and different softwares, what worked for me was Wondershare Repairit. But to get the file ok I had to provide a sample file recorded with the exact same braw settings (frame size and same time of recording, or a little more). So I had to record that sample file to use it with the program.

Careful! Recoverit has a monthly payment, so remember to cancel your suscription before they charge you again! ;) (not afiliated with them in any way, just telling you what worked for me)

Arthur, if you go the Media Storage panel in the upper left of the Media page, are you able to find the file? What happens when you click on it?
