• Malware Attack: Sometimes, the video file stored in the system gets corrupted by third party applications such as malware or virus attack. Malware is nothing but malicious software which is specifically designed to disrupt the normal operation of the computer. This malicious program can be easily entered into the computer via internet, infected sites or by downloading infected software, sharing files or by infected e-mails as well.

• Power Failure: While playing video files on a system and while transferring the files from one device to computer or from computer to other devices if power failure takes place suddenly the file gets corrupted or damaged in just a few seconds and it becomes impossible to access the video files.

• Header Corruption: Every video file has its header where the information of the file is stored. If these header file gets corrupted then the video file also gets damaged or corrupted and so it becomes inaccessible.

• Ejection of hard drive: Sudden ejection of the hard drive while transferring the files from external hard drive to internal hard drive may also result in the inaccessibility of video file.

• If you have notices video file corruption that is unrelated to the battery running out then it is always recommended to perform a microSD card format as soon as you can. Doing so will eliminate any temporary issues on the microSD card that might be contributing to corruption issues.

• Always keep an eye on the camera’s battery life indicator. If the battery needs to be recharged then stop any recording that is in progress and just switch off your camera.

• If you have notices any kind of error while transferring or copying videos from any device to your computer then you should try using a different mini USB cable or you should try to connect the camera to a different USB port on your computer. Sometimes, connection issues between the device and the computer can cause corruption to the video files.

• While recording a video, your camera turns off unexpectedly and causes corruption to the video, maybe there is an issue with your camera’s hardware. In such situation, always make sure that the camera is in perfect condition when you are going to shoot any video.
