Please help with a video file!

I have a Dell Studio 1735. I have recorded hundreds of webcam videos with dell webcam central, but one of them last night didn't work as expected. When viewing the video in webcam central, windows media player or any other player the video will play for about 10 seconds and then freeze, but the sound will continue.

I tried using different players for the video. I tried viewing it in webcam central, media player, quicktime, VLC. I even tried playing the video in windows moviie maker and it didnt work. It is different with quicktime, the video will just turn white, but keep playing the sound.

I also tried using AVS video converter and total video converter and they convert the video into a 10 second video when the video is 6 minutes long.

I also tried a program called ASF video repair that is supposed to repair corrupted video files and it turned the video into a 10 second video as well.

I also tried sending the video to my blackberry curve, which uses windows media player to play files as well if im not mistaken, and it froze after 10 seconds as well.

Any ideas?

 

I have no help. It seems that for some reason only the opening 10 seconds are OK, and the rest is corrupt. Duh. You knew that. From what I read above, you've pretty much done all you can to resurrect the clip. I can't think of anything else to try. Sometimes PCs are like that, the :crap hits the fan for no apparent reason.
