Hi. Hello. I was recording a movie with my cell phone and the space was over. The phone informed about the lack and saved the file with the correct mp4 extension I'm trying to play it but neither All Player nor MPC can play this file. The file is 2.6 GB so it contains some data. Can it still...

Use some video editor, e.g. Avidemux, VirtualDub etc.

With a damaged file from the GoPro camera I used this program: It does not have a graphical interface so at first glance it may seem complicated, but in my case it worked.

Thanks for the answers. Avidemux does not read this file at all. Recover mp4 made ... let's call it a file collection for: recovered.aac recovered.h264 But after connecting audio and video with ffmpeg I still can't play this file. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong in commands for recover mp4 / ffmpeg or if I should look for another program. It seems to me that I did not make a mistake because I practically copied the commands from help.

Please check the file contents with the hexeditor if they are all 0 then nothing can be done.

Digital Video Repair has determined that the file contains no errors. File Repair stated: No data to recover detected It doesn't make sense, because the file is broken for a simple reason - there was not enough space in the comm. So it should be easy. Dra 98 - hex editor shows something like this: However, the program on this page (it's hard to say what name) throws out two such reports that I do not understand:

The file header looks correct. Place the initial part of this file somewhere (20MB should be enough), I'll see if it can be recovered. How do you split a file into pieces? -> example:

Hi. Hello.
I was recording a movie with my cell phone and the space was over.
The phone informed about the lack and saved the file with the correct mp4 extension
I'm trying to play it but neither All Player nor MPC can play this file.
The file is 2.6 GB so it contains some data.

Can it still be saved?

Topic summary

A user encountered issues playing a 2.6GB MP4 file recorded on a cell phone due to insufficient storage during recording. Various methods were suggested for recovery, including using video editors like Avidemux and VirtualDub, and a specific recovery tool for MP4 files. The user attempted to recover audio and video streams using ffmpeg but faced difficulties. Further analysis with a hex editor indicated some data presence, but recovery tools reported no recoverable data. A community member offered to assist by examining a portion of the file for potential recovery. A video link was also shared as a possible solution.
