MP4 corrupted video with colorful artifacts

Hi everybody,
since a couple of weeks I own a goPro Hero2 camera. Battery got discharged and it got some horrible videos like this one:

I looked up in internet and I found that a lot of people have problems opening corrupted goPro videos. However, it looks like I can open and see the video, but its quality is horrible, as you can see. The solutions proposed in gopro forums do not work.

So my easy question is: is there a way to have my original-quality video back? How can I recover the quality from it?

Thanks a lot

What are the gopro forums solutions?

I doubt you can do anything to restore that video.

They deal with the problem of actually opening the file and building the index back, that is useless since my file already opens I guess

I don't think you'll be able to fix that. You can remove the red/blue flicker (leaving grayscale) and try some deflickering and noise reduction on what's left. But it will still look like crap. A short example is attached.

jagabo, thanks a lot for trying to repair the file!
I guess that this is it and I can't get anything more ...I will try to do remove some clutter by myself just for fun
