How do I fix "file has incorrect data" message on a video?

[Android Central Question]

I am trying to play a video on my phone, but it plays a while, then it freezes & says "file has incorrect data". How do I fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is this a video you recorded using the phone's Camera app, or is it a video you downloaded from the web?
