Repairing a svo2 file

Software
1

Hello good.

I have an SVO2 file recorded with a Jetson that I’m trying to repair with the “ZED SVOEditor” tool in a windows machine, but I get the following error:

(base) C:\Program Files (x86)\ZED SDK\tools>“ZED SVOEditor.exe” -repair E:\Ruben\gb2s\proyectos\CAMARIA\Data\Cantabria\1749032830\0.svo2
-repair option detected

  • Repair in progress… Please wait *
    [2025-06-05 05:57:46 UTC][ZED][WARNING] ERROR SVO 2 REPAIR: Decompression failed for chunk data starting at 1749033095226403000 and ending at 1749033095759573559
    [2025-06-05 05:57:46 UTC][ZED][WARNING] ERROR SVO 2 REPAIR: Corrupted message size at byte offset 372589220
    ** SUCCESS: SVO file has been repaired under the name: “E:\Ruben\gb2s\proyectos\CAMARIA\Data\Cantabria\1749032830\0_repaired.svo2”

The most curious thing is that, from Jetson, the file can be opened with ZED Explorer.

How could I repair this file so that it can be read on other machines? Is there another way to repair the file?

Thanks and best regards.

Hello Ruben,

Thank you for reaching us. Could you please run a diagnostic of your setup using the ZED_Diagnostic tool, save the generated json report and send it to us to have more details on your setup ?

Best regards,

Thanks Hugo for the response.

I have a problem: I don’t have access to the Jetson file currently because it’s installed on client facilities, so it won’t be quick to do so.

I had tried this recording program many times, and sometimes closing the recording gave me problems. The resulting SVO2 file was corrupt, but it could always be fixed with the ZED_SVOEditor tool and the -repair option.
It’s related with this topic (there you can find an old diagnostic json file)

But in this case, it can’t do it and only repairs the initial part of the video. My question was more about whether there was any other way to recover that file.

Hello Ruben,

If you can send us your svo, it could be useful to help you to solve your issue.
Also, do you have a snippet of the code you use to record ? For the recording, please ensure to terminate safely your record by using the Camera::close() function. If your process was interrupted or not terminated properly it could affect the end of the record.

Best regards,
