Marcus recovering a corrupted 4K wedding first dance video from an RSV file
blue tip
I’m Marcus Chen, a wedding videographer based in San Francisco. At Jessica and David’s reception, I captured their 12-minute first dance in 4K, including the heartwarming moment when both sets of parents joined them, and David’s father, who uses a wheelchair, stood up to embrace his son. That night, my Sony A7 IV battery died during file transfer, corrupting the entire 9.8GB dance into an unreadable RSV file with separated audio. Three recovery tools failed, and my heart dropped. With the couple leaving for Bali in three days, panic set in. At 2 AM, a videography forum pointed me to Wondershare Repairit. Within a half hour, the video played back perfectly again, and I finally breathed easy.

Video File Damage Situation

challenge
Challenge
At Jessica and David’s Palace of Fine Arts reception, I recorded their 12-minute choreographed first dance in 4K on my Sony A7 IV. Later that night, during file transfer, the camera battery died unexpectedly, corrupting the 9.8GB RSV file. When I tried to open it, the video showed a “file corruption error,” and the audio appeared as a separate, unsynchronized track. The footage wouldn’t play in Premiere Pro, VLC, or QuickTime. I tested three recovery tools with no success. This wasn’t just another clip. With the couple leaving the country in three days and more than 200 weddings behind me without a single loss, my reputation and my clients’ most meaningful memory were both at risk.

At 2 AM, while searching videography forums for help, I found a recommendation for Wondershare Repairit’s Advanced Repair mode. I downloaded the software immediately and followed the guided steps, selecting the corrupted RSV file and providing a healthy sample clip from the same Sony A7 IV shoot. The process required no technical tweaking. Repairit analyzed the file, reconstructed the damaged header, converted the RSV format into a playable MOV file, and re-synchronized the separated audio track. When the preview window opened, I watched the first dance play smoothly from start to finish in full 4K. Seeing those emotional moments restored felt like a huge weight lifting off my shoulders.
