When using "Avidemux 2.5" i can view the video when skipping through the clip but it just wont play.

Any ideas? ? ?

Usually a bad header. I'll take a loook though.

The video file is, in fact, damaged. It plays fine for a few seconds < 30. Not likely to be a header issue.

Thank you for having a look at the clip.

Everyone keeps talking about Disc Doctor Digitial Media Recovery. Stupid demo version has limited features. Dont want to purchase a product if i dont know it cant handle the job,

Kind regards,

Rob

I just completed a transcoding of the video footage using the Daniusoft MOD Converter. It came out as 6:57 in length, but was still frames for most of the video. Audio is missing in the left track.

See this forum post, some guy came up with a Perl script to parse the corrupted file :

I tried the above program with the posted video file and had a successful repair. It got back just over 7 minutes
of playable video.
