recover it from what?? i can say that broken avi files have generally done ok within mplayer, rebuilding indexes and stripping out and recombining video and audio streams if that's what you mean.

I mean that file is stopping and playing again and again continuously.I tried both Linux and windows players.but it results the same as above mentioned.

Exactly I mean how to repair a corrupted .avi file in windows or Linux?

well like i said, i had good mileage from the functionality of mplayer (and it's documentation)

One of the transcode group of programs is "avifix". It will fix the header on an avi file, but won't fix the gaps.

for avi files there is VirtualDub but that only works in windoze. I guess you can try to run it in WINE.
