Re: Corrupt or Corrupted
I would recommend:
as adjective
A corrupt file / The file is corrupt / Corrupt video files
as verb
The video files have been corrupted / The transfer has corrupted the files
as adjective
A corrupt file / The file is corrupt / Corrupt video files
as verb
The video files have been corrupted / The transfer has corrupted the files
