Was involved in an accident but unfortunately one of the videos from my dashcam (A119C) is corrupt!

I don't know why - as the rest of the videos from it are fine - but although they look the right size (350MB), nothing (tried VLC, Quicktime) can play them.

Anyone know how to repair them?

The videos are here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l1ca0hf9412uppp/AAAC-Tg... - in case anyone wants to have a go

Photorec should be able to recover it frame by frame as long as the physical media isn't damaged. If not I can have a look when I get into work tomorrow.

Thanks but that seems to want the memory card, when I've already copied it onto my laptop.

I seem to have got the video back using this - http://slydiman.me/eng/mmedia/recover_mp4.htm - but not the sound - but thats fine for my purposes.
Some of the online ones got the sound, too, but I'm happy with what I've got.

Maybe I should see if I can get my wedding video repaired - after my camera ran out of batteries, someone recorded it on a phone but somehow with no sound!
