Fix mid crash video file

[BrenC11]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has ever been able to fix a video file that was shot mid crash. My inspire recently went too close to a power line and fell out the sky. The last video it shot, whilst it got zapped, does show that it's got data inside its just does not play.

Cheers

Repairing Corrupt DJI Video Files

I used this once a while back to insert the proper "end of file" bit that had gone missing from the otherwise good video file. That evoked a hearty thumbs-up in my book.

If you're going to try any repair process though, make sure you do it on a copy so if it doesn't work you still have the original to copy again and try something else with.

A bit late here, but might be of use to some. I've used Restore.Media online to recover video from my dashcam (crash, end of video was not there; tried to fix it with other tools to no avail). Previously used recover_mp4 utility but restore.media coped better. For DJIs, there is dji-fix, but it works for older versions only, and does not recover sound/audio.

Good thing you were able to locate and get your drone after the crash
