Hi everyone.
Someone maybe can help me. I need to repair broken (unfinished download) MP4 file. I search evrywhere, but nothing useful found. Maybe I'm searching on bad sites or wrong string.

Thx for every useful informations.

EDIT: Sorry this belongs to New A/V Formats - Containers forum. Please move it here.

I know this thread is old, but I got the same problem and I haven´t found a solution. The file is unplayable in VLC and Haali Media Splitter, mp4box won´t demux it ("IsoMedia File is truncated") and mkvtoolnix also doesn´t accept it. I don´t have any idea what do, there must be a way to demux the raw data, with a hexeditor I can see the data like "libfaac 1.26.1 (Jul 19 2008) UNSTABLE", somehow there must be a way to output the raw h264 and aac data.
I remember it is even possible to restore avi files without beginning or end (divx only iirc).

Can anybody please tell me what to do to repair/play this file?

Thanks
