Hi all!

I would like to know if there is a way to corrupt a mp4 file so that it should not be repairable.

Thanks in advance.

All those things are elementary. If you looking to destroy evidence you'll needed something a bit better.

Destroying evidence? Sounds like you need a lawyer.

What is the code in the text file? I'm assuming it would be pretty hard to fix that

Maybe replace most of the video with a video of a black screen with a spinning circle in the middle, to make it seem like it's buffering.
