Not a complete failure » Blog Archive » Treasured finally comes to Windows in native form.
Summary
After a few years operating the Video Repair Service exclusively on Mac, the bar of 1000 different repair algorithms had been crossed, in other words the code base had grown considerably, and porting it all to Windows was not just difficult, but would need years of work. A very bad idea, but you only know when you try… I took this road, first came MP4repair.org, now defunct, whose heyday around 2017 just happened when GoPro and small drones had their peak of popularity. It shipped in 2016, and quickly became a fairly competent tool for Windows users, who could not run Treasured on their PCs. Unreliable Internet connections, slow processing, differences between browsers, and no access to hardware… the web app would never get close to Treasured. Finally in early 2023, I considered that Treasured code base was mature enough and that repair algorithms had converged and standardized, making a Windows port a possibility.
