How to filter broken video files?

Question

Iron

A large list of video files has been received as a result of recovering files from a hard drive, most of which simply cannot be opened in the player. It is necessary to separate such files in order to reduce the detection area of ​​the searched file from the list of video files that do not have any damage. How can I do that? Thank you!

Answer 1

MediaInfo.dll
Try to get information about the movie, if it fails, then it is definitely corrupted. It seems that there is a console program for this library.
You can also open it in the explorer in the "preview" mode, or something like that it is called. The cover or frame of the movie will be visible. If not, then the file is corrupted and can be deleted or checked for playback. But through MediaInfo.dll you can automate.
