Stellar Phoenix Video Repair Pros:

Let’s talk about the pros. Though it isn’t a piece of software where there are numerous things to talk about, there are pros of the software.

  • The simple and minimalistic user interface is great for beginners and can be handy, when you want to repair your corrupted video files with minimum hassles, quickly.
  • The software is pretty fast in repairing the video files, though I am not sure about whether it takes the advantage of multiple cores during the repair process or not.
  • Support a number of formats. Mp4 and MOV are the two most widely used formats used by most users and professionals nowadays.
  • The Stellar Phoenix Video Repair software also support advanced repair with the help of a reference file of the same format recorded from the same device. The feature also works pretty successfully.
  • The software is also capable of partial recovery or repair, just in a case, full recovery is not possible, even with the advanced repair option. It can be helpful if you are having some important content in the video, if not a great memory to cherish later on.
  • Though a software is used for doing some heavy tasks like repairing video files, the software is pretty light-weight. It took around 65 MB on my hard drive and consumes around 25 to 50 MB on RAM.

So those were the pros.

Stellar Phoenix Video Repair Cons:

Now let’s have a look at the cons of the Stellar Phoenix Video Repair software. Though I do not have too many complaints about the software.

  • There is no doubt the user interface is simple. But it lacks some nifty features. It is not possible to drag and drop files or delete video files from the repair list. I wish such features were present.
  • Though the program supports some major video file formats, it still doesn’t cover a lot of other formats like MKV, AVI, FLV, and others. Though they are not too popular, who can say, one of your best memory is in those formats.
  • I wish there was the provision to allow the software use or not use multiple cores to speed up the repair process or get more room for other applications currently in use.

Well, the software just promises to repair your corrupted video files. So I didn’t try harder finding additional cons. So those were the cons.

My verdict

Well, now to the most important part. If you are a professional, or just have a huge stock of videos, Stellar Phoenix Video Repair software is surely going to be a great piece of software for you. I will never pray that you run into a consequence to using this software. But accidents don’t intimate you before it actually takes place, and this piece of software can act as a failsafe, just in case anything bad happens. You might keep a gun for protection without actually using it even once in your life. Stellar Phoenix Video Repair software is your that gun, which can keep your video files safe. None of the cons is a deal-breaker, and thus, Stellar Phoenix Video Repair software is a pretty decent software of its class.

  2. I tried the free version to see if it would repair a broken mp4 video and it seemed to work — I was pretty excited, but the Preview of the video was awful. lots of ugly tearing and pixelation. So that doesn’t really encourage me to buy the product.
