FFmpeg is the easiest way of checking the integrity of any video file type. Follow the steps below to check if a video file is corrupted or not:
Step 1. Download and launch FFmpeg on your Windows PC.
Step 2. Use a feature in FFmpeg video converter: the command line will just read the input file and report any errors that will appear: ffmpeg.exe -v error -i file.avi -f null - >error.log 2>&1.
Step 3. If it doesn't catch all problems with missing frames, use the command: ffprobe -show_entries stream=r_frame_rate,nb_read_frames,duration -select_streams v -count_frames -of compact=p=1:nk=1 -threads 3 -v 0.
Step 4. Check the output, which should be like this:
- header framerate
- video length in seconds
- true frame count
Step 5. You can then check if there are missing frames. e.g., 25 * duration should equal the frame count, or it will be less if you miss frames.
