Repairing Corrupted MP4 File?

[2is]

Hello, I'm hoping someone on here will be able to help me out with my situation. I bought one of those pocket cams and decided it would be a good idea to mount it to one of my RC vehicles to get some on-board action. I had a rather spectacular crash that destroyed the camera but left the SD card unharmed. My problem is that the recording was stopped prematurly and based on what I've been reading so far, the issue has to do with incomplete headers/footers in the file. I've treid using a hex editor to paste headers/footers from a good file to the corrupted one but failed. I think that's more to do with me now knowing what I'm doing versus the file being unrecoverable. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Please provide more details...Camera model, file format (AVI, MP4, etc.) If you can get the file to load into GSpot, post a screen shot of that. The more details you can provide, the better the video gurus (which does not include me, though I have been on for quite a while I don't have all the knowledge of some of the more experienced people on here) can help you.

Sure thing. The format is MP4
The Camera is a Sony HD Bloggie. Model: MHS-PM5

I've attached a screenshot of GSpot

Anyone?

I once saved a damaged mp4 file from a friend's camera by dropping it into convertxtodvd, and having it recode it to mpeg-2, then edit out the scrambled bits. I was able to salvage nearly all the footage that way. Of course there's no guarantee that this would work for your file, but it might be something to try.
