Incomplete 3GP file - any way to fix
Hello
My wife was recording our son's first visit to the dentist (his first cavity filling) and while recording she ran out of space. No warning, just acted like it was still recording and that was it. Didn't notice any problems until we tried playing.
I've tried playing on phone, in GOM, in VLC, in WMP, all to no avail
Tried repairing with All Media fixer - says repaired but not playing anywhere
Tried converting and then playing using two different apps - one said it converted, the other said it failed, neither converted file played.
Is there anyone who knows of any way to turn this file into a playable file? from googling and reading I saw that the 3GP files actually write all their header info at the end of the file and I guess that's why it wont work... All data should be there (79MB file) so maybe there's something I can hex, maybe another app, anything.... HELP! This is one of those 'firsts' that you wanna keep ya know?
Thanks

None of the above helped but at least you replied so enjoy the points.
Thank for the feedback. Sorry to hear nothing worked. : /

All that is is a link to stellar phoenix photo recovery (which also does vid and sound). Unless you know of a way to use it to 'repair' a file that I couldnt find, then all it does is recover deleted files. I've used stellar phoneix applications and they ARE great at recovery but I could not find a way for it to actually select a specific file and do a 'repair'. Do you know how?
