This will download and install the build of ffmpeg that is hosted by gyan (at the time of writing). It will also work if you don’t have admin privileges, which chocolatey prefers. To update FFmpeg, just revisit the download page in step 1 above and download the zip file. Unpack the files and copy them over the old files in the folder you created in step 2. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. If parts of the file reside on physically bad sectors, or for whatever reason, the OS cannot serve the whole file to FFmpeg, then naturally FFmpeg can’t do anything about that.

Updating FFmpeg

The commands can get far more complicated, but that’s only because the program has so much power. Using the FFmpeg documentation, you can learn all the commands and create some very powerful scripts. After that, you can save these scripts into a .bat file so that you just have to double click a file instead of type out the whole command each time. For example, this answer contains a script that will create MP3’s from all the MP4’s in a folder. Then we would be combining the power of FFmpeg with the power of cmd, and that’s a nice place to be when you have to do professional quality video/audio encoding on mountains of files.

You should get a utility which can ignore those portions and bank reconciliations write the salvageable parts to a new file, like ddrescue. When I play this videos with VLC or other players they plays till a certain point and then instantly exits. Sometimes I can try to skip the bad part but I could meet another bad sector and have an insta-quit again.
