Treasured's Movie Repair Guide -- Resilient Mode

The Repair Kit is designed to help you save time.

When you face frequent crashes, the repair process gets very slow.


Resilient Mode: Restarting and continuing a repair after a crash, automatically.


1. When to use Resilient Mode

If you face frequent failures (hangs, crashes) while using the Repair Kit, the normal answer is to send a Defect Report to let Aero Quartet improve the kit until it works correctly.

But in some cases, it just cannot be fixed. For example when problems happen randomly or due to read errors in the storage medium.

In such cases, Aero Quartet technicians will recommend to use Resilient Mode.


2. How it works

Activation of Resilient Mode is through the File > Resilient Mode menu.

When Resilient Mode is active, a blue "force field" appears around the window.


During the repair session, if the program crashes or hangs for more than 10 seconds, RepairMovie restarts automatically where it has left, and continues the repair. No action is required from the user.


3. Results

Resilient Mode creates a subfolder for each session.

If for example the damaged file is SDV_0028.mp4, the folders are called:

Note that about half of them have the prefix "bad-" because the corresponding session did not produce good movies.


The rest contain the set of files usually created by a session:


Segments are ordered: Subfolder SDV_0028_1 comes before SDV_0028-4.
