    Thanks @Alex I've updated the link. Amusingly the Readme on github is based on this answer!

    Would give a windows based solution. <superuser.com/questions/938185/recover-incomplete-video-files> as I do not have internet access in my linux distros.

    FWIW this didn't produce any playable videos for me - but running recover_mp4_to_h264 via wine worked well. Commented Jan 27, 2016 at 12:32

    Untrunc worked for me, but I had to put both video files in the subdirectory of the hidden .untrunc folder named untrunc-master. Then, run: ./untrunc goodfile.mp4 badfile.mp4 It took about 3 minutes for a 2gb file and I only had to resync the audio. Everything else was fine.

    You can use the Docker image here too: hub.docker.com/r/synctree/untrunc this way you don't need to install and compile all the things. A quick run and it solved it for me !!
