Is there a way to recover recording if app/computer crashes during recording?

hdtrailers

Once in awhile when Voila is recording, the app crashes or my computer crashes. When I relaunched Voila, it says the file is corrupted. The *.mov file still exists in the Voila directory, but nothing seems to be able to play it.

I was wondering if it's possible to recover the recording in this scenario or if it's gone for good.

Thanks!

For others who've hit this issue, I was able to repair the mov file using: HD Video Repair Utility: http://grauonline.de/cmsimple2_6/en/?Solutions:HD_Video_Repair_Utility

It's a bit expensive. €29 for 5 repairs or €99 for unlimited repairs.

They do offer a demo version that recovers 50% of the file, so I was able to confirm that the repair actually worked.

All you have to do is provide the corrupted file located in ~/Pictures/Voila/VoilaLibrary.libVoila/Videos/ and also a reference file (one that was successfully recorded) and it'll then do its magic.

Hope this helps for others who've encountered this problem.

Hi there,

Could you please update your copy of Voila to the latest version and check if it helps?
