Abstract: In the digital forensic, recovery of deleted and damaged video files play an important role in searching for the evidences. In this paper, MP4-Karver tool is proposed to recover and repair the corrupted videos. Moreover, MP4-Karver extracts frames from video for automatically screen-video to detect illegal cases instead of targeting or watching complete video. Therefore, many existing approaches such as Scalpel’s method, Garfienkel, Bi-Fragment Gap Carving, Smart Carving and Frame Based Recovery attempts to recover the videos in different ways, but most of the recovered videos are usually not complete playable. The proposed MP4-Karver focuses on recovery of video files and repair corrupted videos to complete and playable. Experimental results show that the proposed MP4-Karver effectively restores corrupted or damaged video for an improved percentage of the video restoration compared with existing tools.
