Does not work using the docker container, untrunc says: Missing 'Movie Header' atom (mvhd). Can not repair file with moob atom problems.

Worked also for me. I first tried ignorantly a couple of dd if=ok-file.mp4 of=/tmp/broken-file.mp4 bs=1056 count=1 conv=notrunc with increasing block size, with no luck. Then untrunc solved my problem quickly and flawlessly.

Thanks, this worked! Though I did have to sudo apt-get install unzip g++ in the VM I created to run Untrunc in; looks like those commands aren't on Ubuntu by default. The audio in the repaired file is also way out of sync with the video, with the video seeming to speed up and slow down at random. I guess that's because I was recording using a variable frame rate... video.stackexchange.com/q/19052/16308

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.

Update the source code link

| Jan 28, 2015 at 3:49 | comment | added | Alex | This worked for me, however I had to use the most up-to-date code from Github here instead of the link provided. | |

Clarified about Untrunc guessing the video length.
