Welcome
Guides to Sony .rsv files and rsv.repair: what an interrupted recording leaves behind, how the in-browser repair works, and how to spot .rsv files early.
rsv.repair turns interrupted Sony .rsv recordings into a normal video file you can open anywhere.
If recording stops suddenly (dead battery, memory card removed, or a crash), the camera may save a .rsv file. Your footage is usually still inside; the file just doesn’t play in a normal app yet.
Some Sony cameras (e.g. VENICE, FS6, FS7, A7S Mark III) can recover unfinished clips in playback mode on the camera first. See Check your camera for recovery options. If that doesn’t apply or doesn’t work, rsv.repair can rebuild a playable file on your computer from just the .rsv file. Choose where to save, and the tool writes a normal video. Nothing is uploaded.
