Need help - File format "UNDF"

[Noah]

Hello! I encountered a problem recently, I can't view my .avi clips recorded with fraps. I get a different error for each player. So far I've tried Windows Media player, Quicktime player and VLC player. The clips were recorded a while ago, then put in an external harddrive while I reinstalled windows, and so, after reinstalling windows I can't view the clips anymore which is a huge shame because they were all my stunts for my JC2 duo with Slayer... Needless to say I can't import them to vegas either.

Have anyone else encountered this sorta problem?

Here's what shows up when I try to open a clip in VLC.

Tried installing other VLC versions? Looked at the options and found something that could be causing it?

I had the same problem while reformating my HDD. For somereason, it seems, that you can't move Fraps Movies to other disks than the original one. No idea why, but all of them get corrupted after doing this

Ok so what I've discovered is that "undf" means undefined, so I guess my computer doesn't recognize the files.. Renaming it to say, .wmv doesn't work either. I think the cause may be that fraps creates "movie files" instead of "wmv" which is strange because it says they're .avi on properties :C

Recorded before I reformatted


Recorded after



Still looking for someone to solve my highly mysterious problem

make sure you have the version of fraps you used before or newer one because it might be a codec problem

[Noah]

Good idea, I'll get the version I used to have

Had the same Operating System that you had when recording? Also try opening it with MediaInfo, go to the Text tab and paste everything here.

[Noah]

I did, the only difference was that I changed the C: drive


And uhm, like this? 

Complete name                    : J:\GTI collab\JC2 RECORDING YAH\Just Cause 2 stunt montage I\firecar bump2roof.avi
File size                        : 229 MiB

[Noah]

Mythic, where art thou? D:

[Mythic]

Go to View -> Text, it should bring up complete video and audio details. In case it doesn't I don't know what to do.

There was some discussion about it on the VLC forums, I'll get back to you tomorrow in case you can get the information with MediaInfo.

amidoinitrite?


E/ I downloaded DivX hoping it would work, but to my despair I got this error.. *hoping someone recognizes it*

[Mythic]

That is a common error, doesn't help here... Sorry, I'm out of ideas as MediaInfo ain't telling anything I'd know of either.

You can try Google with "undf video", I checked out the first couple of tens of founds but they were all dead ends, you might have to re-record them all.

[Noah]

I can't, I recorded as I landed them since there's no replay system in JC2.

If I were to lose these I'd have to spend time re-landing all my stunts and alot of people wouldn't be to happy about that 

[Noah]

BUMP! I am desperate you guys 

[KillaMarci]

Upload one of thoose files (preferably the very smallest one) on Rapidshare and I'll take a close look on it. Would suck if that JC2 video got cancelled
