How to do it:<\/p>\n<p>To get started, navigate to the appropriate website for your device and download Media Player. Once successfully installed, launch the application and then proceed with the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can add the corrupted file by navigating to the &#8220;Media&#8221; menu, selecting &#8220;Convert\/Save&#8221; and then adding the file. After making sure the &#8220;Convert&#8221; option is enabled in the settings, select the profile that corresponds to the file type and then click the Start button to begin converting the files.<\/li>\n<li>The corrupted file will now be converted to a new version that can be played by the media player.<\/li>\n<li>Note that Media Player is not always able to repair severely damaged video files; however, it is a useful tool to have on hand for fixing minor problems. Before you give up on the file altogether, it&#8217;s not a bad idea to give this last option a chance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part_3_How_to_avoid_video_corruption\"><\/span>Part 3: How to avoid video corruption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>As with any health problem, prevention is always better than treatment, and the same goes for video corruption.
