Fix/repair problem with unplayable MP4/3GPP, missing Atom??

[Tg. Thangno]

Hello,

First of all, I hope this post stands in the right thread, if not maybe a Mod wil help moving it.

I've been busy for a while now with this problem and I have googled for quit a while, learned alot but didn't find the solution for my problem yet.

I've got a problem with a mp4 movie wich i've recorded with my phone. After I've accidentily deleted it, I tried to recover it with an undelete program.. Wich worked perfectly in the past..

But now i can recover the file but can't view it.. (Also VLC & MPC didn't work)

Next to the movie files there where also other files recovered, files with no extension, with the same name as the video but with extra "_Vide" in the name.. Very small files about 4-5 kB's..

The movie files give the next sheet in MediaInfo & MediaCoder:

Strange thing is that the language is Japanese, If anything it should be Dutch or at least English I would think..

I did't overwrite the data on the phone, since I made the movie and deleted it, I didn't record any other video's, made pictures or write anything on the phonecard.. So the files should be undeleted corectly..
Before I deleted them, the files the played fine on the phone..


I've tried a lot of programs but for example AtomicParsely, but since I've never worked with this kind of stuff I don't know what to do exactely..

One of the programs gave information about an missing or broken Moov Atom, but I don't know wich program it was, so I can't copy-paste the error...

Does anybody has any idea? Or at least can help me find out what the problem is, by give me some hints with other programs wich I can try?

Another program; AtomicParsley gives the following result:

When I use AtomicParsley with the -T function I get the following message:



But when I try "-t" the program gives this message:



Then AtomicParsley stops and is shutdown by xp.. (standard XP error message that the program has te be terminated with the standard question to tell Microsoft about is.. )


Anybody knows any other ways to find out what is wrong with the file, or better, knows how to repair it?
