Fix a corrupted Bandicam MP4 that won't play.
When Bandicam is interrupted before you stop recording, the MP4 keeps the footage but loses the index that makes it playable. Upload it and we'll try to rebuild it.

Try another fileGood news — your file isn't damaged. No charge.
There's nothing to repair. If it still looks broken, the issue may be the player, codec, or viewer on your device rather than the file itself.
We couldn't recover this one.
The file is too damaged to rebuild, so there is nothing to preview and no charge.
Have another clip from the same device?
A healthy video recorded on the same device — ideally the same settings — gives the repair engine a template to rebuild from. It can unlock repairs that fail on their own.
Unrepaired files are kept encrypted for up to 30 days, then deleted.

Why Bandicam MP4s stop working
Bandicam records to an MP4 (or AVI) and writes the footage continuously, but the small index a player needs to open the file is only written when the recording is stopped normally.
A crash, a freeze, a full disk, or closing Bandicam before pressing stop all skip that final step. The footage is written; the index isn't; the file won't open. Bandicam ships a repair tool of its own, but it only handles its AVI output — for the MP4 files most people record today, that tool can't help, which is why these end up unfixed.
The footage is usually intact, so this is often recoverable. FileFix reads what Bandicam wrote, rebuilds a valid index, and produces a normal, playable file — and shows you exactly how much was recovered in a free preview before you pay.
The one case we can't fix: a 0-byte or empty file, where Bandicam stopped before any footage reached the disk. We'll say so plainly and you won't be charged.
What we can and can't fix
We can usually fix
- Bandicam was interrupted before you stopped recording, leaving footage with no index — including the MP4 files Bandicam's own tool can't repair.
We can't fix
- The file is 0 bytes or empty because recording stopped before any footage was written. There's nothing to rebuild. More on that →

Questions
Often, yes. Bandicam's built-in repair only handles its AVI recordings; MP4 files fall outside it. Rebuilding the MP4 index is what we do, and the free preview shows the result before you pay.
No. The fix works on the file itself, not on whatever was on screen, so any Bandicam MP4 that won't play is worth uploading.
Upload it anyway. AVI files that won't play usually have a damaged index too, and the preview will tell you what we can recover at no charge.
