I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading 'video1.mkv': Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing;
I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at that point but the video plays normally till the end
I have tried zipping the file but it fails to zip it
I tried copying it using ffmpeg but it also gave the same error
I can copy the file in the same directory but trying to copy the copy also gives the same error
I tried copying to a variety of different storage drives and it still gave me this error any ideas?
Try this answer. I guarantee there is a way to read the file front to back while skipping errors, but I run so much data redundancy that I don’t have any experience with it.
Thank you
