Frames Preview (first it has to detect media!)
For MPEG4, H264, a good file encoded with the same settings can be necessary to preview the movie. The good file is used to configure the data extracted from the bad one into a good image.
For DV, DVCPro50, DVCPro HD, Intermediate, ProRes422, XDCAM and JPEG, a Preview is provided automatically.

QuickTime (mov, mp4) and AVI container structures are searched for and analyzed.
This is important as some movies are almost intact and can be repaired with a simple Container Structure Correction.
