Corrupt video file in need of editing

I rendered this video I had edited with Vegas 6. It said 1 hour left for rendering. So I figured to let it sit there when I would go to sleep. Apparently the power cut off and midway via rendering the render died.

I woke up, I saw the file on my desktop. I thought the movie was 100% rendered. So I deleted the 14,000mb raw video footage from the DV camera and played my rendered movie. 1/4 the way through the video it said it was corrupt and I couldnt watch it. So that probably was due to the power cutting when it was rendering whilst I was sleeping.

The problem is, when I try to drag the video back into vegas it dont load and my computer locks up. All I really need is the first 1/4th of the video that works. The rest really dont matter to me. I just want to keep at least the parts that wernt corrupt. Any ideas? Thanks
 
Anyone know what I can do? The first 6 minutes of the video play fine then I get the error. The PC locks up upon dragging the video clip into Vegas 6. I need that first 6 minutes so I can use that for a possible addition to another movie. This is the only copy I have and I really need it. Any ideas are appreciated
 
bump..


really aggin on to what I can do to edit this again and save it as a complete file.

I know I lost the majority of it. But i want to keep the first 6 minutes that actually show on the video and save those 6 minutes into its own file
 
Is the raw video from the camera still available or have you wiped/reused that tape already? If you still have the tape, just copy the video to your PC again and start over. If not, and if you haven't made too many changes to files on your hard drive since you deleted the video, you might be able to recover the raw video file using a file recovery utility.
 
There are some utilities out there that can try and repair video... VirtualDub, AVIMaster, DivXRepair. Not sure what video format you encoded to so If you look around you can try one of those and see if that fixes you up.
 
Ok. It got corrupted when rendering in vegas 6. As in 3/4ths of the video is non-fixable because it never rendered. Which means that is lost and non-redeemable. I want the 1/4th that isnt crap back so I can use it and edit it again. Those programs listed above dont work.
