Corrupted Video: An unknown error has occured..

[Android Central Question]

I recorded a video on my samsung smartphone but it is corrupted for some reason.

I can play the video on my phone but at 3s it stops and says : "An unknown error has occured" and stops playing...

What i can do is start the video and skip forward to 10s and then play... this allows me to see the video until the last minute where this again occurs...

I tried to copy the video from my phone to my pc. This results in an incomplete copy 5mb vs original 373mb on my phone. i also can't play the video on my computer.

I tried to send it to a cloud/dropbox/send the file via wifi but it always ends up sending the 5mb file.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?

Is it on the SD card or internal? If SD, is the card fast enough to capture the video at the resolution of your settings? Put the card in a pc. Can you read it then? Good luck.
