Welcome

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.

Open the tool to get started.

• What is a .rsv file? (short background)
• Spot .rsv files early (o/PARASHOOT: extra pre-erase check; can surface .RSV)
• Using the web app (steps and progress)
• RSV file format (technical) (the raw GOP and true-MXF/XAVC layouts, and how recovery maps them to MP4)
• Privacy & your files
