..while the other file just reports:

Format profile : Base Media / Version 2
Codec ID : mp42

...and nothing more.

Do you know any good software (payware aswell) to restore that important clip?
Thank you in advance

I use Video repair tool. It has worked for most corrupt files. Try first the free trial and see if it works at all, you choose the corrupt file and a working sample.
