Old webcam recorded video not playing I have this video (length 1-2 min) recorded on Dell webcam 3-4 years ago. It played smoothly at that time. Now when I play it, for first 40 seconds it plays well but after that video goes blank and audio stops. Video continues to move forward but without video and audio, just blank .

Is there by any chance I can recover this video? If yes, how?
It's an AVI file, 550 MB.

To me sounds like a lack of original codecs. Why don't you start by posting a ffprobe of the file? The container is AVI but we doesn't know anything about the codec.

ffprobe file.avi
