Thats not helpful, Ghitulescu

Please don't post just for the sake of posting - per Rule 11.

Ordinarily, DVCProHD stored in a MOV container with PCM audio tracks is total cake for ffmpeg. I've done this plenty of times.

@frubsen: You may be hosed. Did you try something as simple as this:

Code:

ffmpeg -f dv -i OMGCORRUPTED.mov -map 0:1 -acodec copy output.wav

Only real change there is I'm asking ffmpeg to just give me whatever audio format the source is, while you explicitly specified the format that ffmpeg recognizes... SHOULDNT make a difference but who knows.

Firestores

... I bet you won't be relying on them again, eh? I've heard more horror stories than I care to think about regarding their stuff, especially the DVCProHD version for the HVX200.

If this is a life and death situation, you can always send the Firestore to a professional data recovery company and see if they can recover any more of the file for you. Not cheap by any means but it might be worth a peek.
