Restore.Media
About
Restore.Media repairs damaged or unplayable video and audio files through a browser. It scans media tracks and reconstructs missing or damaged headers, metadata and indexes. Listed formats include MP4, MOV, M4A, M4V, MXF, 3GP, INSV, RSV and MP3. The service says its algorithms are adapted to particular cameras and that it supports hundreds of camera models, encoders and recording applications. Uploads can be up to 128GB. Users can inspect a full-length, low-resolution preview before paying for an original-resolution download. Automatic recovery costs 4.99 USD per once per file, with the final price varying by file size; there is no subscription. Manual recovery by engineers is also offered at a negotiated price based on order volume and complexity, and may involve engineers viewing or listening to the media. Restore.Media says uploads are processed automatically and not viewed unless manual recovery is requested. Tasks and associated files can be deleted by users, while inactive ones are removed after seven days. It does not repair distortions, freezes or artifacts in otherwise playable video, and recovery may fail if source video data is corrupted.
Who it is for
Restore.Media may suit people trying to recover damaged or unplayable media files, including files from supported cameras and recording applications. It is less suited to fixing visual defects in video that already plays.

Verdict
