Surely all of you have already lived the experience of going to play a video and finding a corrupt file error. It is more common than you might think, and there are several reasons why this happens.
The problem is aggravated when we have uploaded the video to YouTube and it has been deleted, and when we try to recover it from our PC, we see that it has a problem and cannot be played.
Why is a video broken?
On the one hand there may be errors while reading or writing data, something that can happen if there are bad sectors on the hard drive, for example. On the other hand, we have the problem of downloads, since errors in a video often arrive when the material has been downloaded from the Internet. In the latter case, it may be due to an interruption in the download process, even when we download them from prestigious platforms, such as Youtube videos.
But there are not errors only due to a recording error or download interruption, there are also viruses that can damage the file, or problems generated after the recording due to improper system closures.
Be that as it may, it is very common to look for ways to restore videos freeand today I will explain how to do it with Tenorshare 4DDiG.
Why is a video lost on Youtube
Many people use YouTube to save their favorite videos, or as personal video storage, but when doing so we have to take into account YouTube’s policies, policies that are changing and that can affect the visibility of our content.
From copyright issues in the audio (protected music in the background, for example) to duplicate content owned by someone else, the reasons can be varied.
