Extracting Audio from severely damaged MOV

Hi all,

I have a DVCPRO HD .MOV file from a Firestore recorded from an HVX200 that is severely damaged, I can't open it up in anything. I have tried everything from Mpegstreamclip to VLC..nothing will play it.

What I really need to do is extract the audio from it, I dont really care about the video at this point.

I feel like I should be able to do this with FFMPEG. This is where I am so far
Code:
Z:\Canon Video\video\broken file>ffmpeg -f dv -i test.mov -map 0:1 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 2 audio.wav

Anyone have any ideas?

If I don't do the -f dv command I get...."[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 01cfcf60] moov atom not found"

For professional hardware one should also use professional software -> ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasoni...iaComposer.pdf

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.

I was able to recover about 3 minutes of the file by using a hex editor and copying the moov header from a working file to the damaged one.

I can work around the missing 2 minutes.

Thanks!
