If something doesn't open in VLC, you can usually safely assume the file is corrupt lol

Just because VLC plays a file doesn't mean that the file isn't corrupted.

If something doesn't open in VLC...then you should probably try it in Media Player Classic, and if that doesn't work then the file is totally fucked.

If something doesn't open in VLC your OS is probably not set to open that file type in VLC

I've had corrupted files play in VLC.

After a while it crashed VLC because of the corruption, but reopening the file and skipping pas the corruption worked, lol.
