Is there a way to make unplayable videos (due to crash in recording software) playable?

Question

So sometimes when I record games with zdsoft game recorder or fraps, the recorded ends up crashing at the end, which makes the video unplayable by anything - windows movie maker, winamp, and windows media player. But I'm assuming that the video is totally fine UP to the moment of the crash - so if you manage to cut out the last sections of the video - it might be a perfectly playable video - since it has the file size appropriate to its length and such. Does anyone know how to make those videos playable?

Answer 1
