# Step 1: Export from AnyDesk to AVI
# (Manual: File -> Export Recording -> AVI)
Pro Tip: If the file is already MP4 but corrupted, use:
ffmpeg -i broken.mov -c copy fixed.mp4
This copies streams without re-encoding – the fastest verified fix.
ffmpeg -i recording.avi -f framemd5 - | grep "frame" > source_framemd5.txt
ffmpeg -i recording.mp4 -f framemd5 - | grep "frame" > output_framemd5.txt
Identify the input file:
Convert with FFmpeg (assume input file input.any and desired output output.mp4):
ffmpeg -i input.any -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
Verify the MP4:
Best for: When you need to reduce file size after conversion.
Success rate: 98% – HandBrake handles odd container formats well.
HandBrake is a free, open-source video transcoder. Unlike FFmpeg, it has a rich GUI and presets.
