Video file recovery

[jfjuk]

I had a power out on my A7Sii mid-shot.  The file is unreadable on my MacBook Pro - however, it is 850mb and plays back in camera from the SD card.

 

There was no XML file recorded due to the sudden power loss.

 

I have tried the in-camera repair option, without success.  The fact I can view the video in camera must mean the information is there?

Thanks, but my file is MP4 and not MTS, so I can't 'show contents'.  The software link didn't work either.

"Our repair utility can repair and fix broken or damaged video files (MOV, MP4, 3GP, M4V) that do not play in your media player.

What exactly means REPAIR? Repair means that only video and audio portions can be repaired that are not lost: On some of your corrupt files, it MAY NOT repair anything at all, on some files it MAY repair some video portions, and on some other files it MAY repair both video and audio portions (It fully depends on the grade of corruption)."

 

 

good luck, whatever you do...
