Hi all,
Well I ummed and erred over where to post this - this board seemed as the best bet but will happily remove/repost if I get everyone's backs up immediately!
I just (literally 1 hour ago) transferred an mp4 from my Samsung Galaxy S2 to my PC HD - for some reason best known to me instead of copying it I cut and paste it and something clearly happened during transfer as it will not now open from the HD (VLC or WMP). Is this technically destructive editing, lol?!
It's a 45 minute HD vid that weighs in at 3gb. I did start browsing the web whilst it was still moving the file and this is the only thing I can think of that upset it in some way.
Cue frantic googling and not a lot coming up - I've been through the tools section on here - tried YAMB (not sure why exactly) but it wouldn't add the file. I have read that HD Video Repair has high success rate and that V1.5 was freeware (as opposed to latest version $40 for 5 fixes) - of course I can't track V1.5 down anywhere.
It's the age old story - whilst I want to get the vid back I really don't want to throw any cash (well lets say $10 tops) at getting it back.
Are there any suggestions of programs that may be able to help or if anyone has a link to HD Video Repair 1.5 . . . . .
Any help, guidance or amusing stories to cheer me up appreciated!

Hi Aedipus - thanx for reply. I did try copying it back to the S2 first and it would not play on it - lesson learnt about COPY vs CUT!!
Just installed mediainfo and this is what it says in Advanced mode:

I didn't get any error Windows message come up during/post transfer - would there be a log?
Finally, it was a usb transfer using the supplied phone cable (KIES air would've taken forever!). -
windows would have stopped the transfer if it ran into any errors.
try a couple 3gp converters like https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Free-3GP-Video-Converter and see if anything can open it.--

if you are good with a hex editor you could try the header swap trick. make sure you have a back up copy of the file before you do. compare the header of the bad file to the header of a good one and make the changes to the bad header to match the good one.
