Water Got In My Drift - Corrupt File

[TA-Tauren]

I recently came off my bike into a watery trench because of my own stupidity and my Drift was recording at the time, but it seems the file that was being written at the time corrupted due to a bit of water getting in.
Does anyone know a way to repair / recover that footage?
I have the saved file. (I bet CSI could)

The Drift is fine, it just needed to dry out on the radiator at home. Good cam to work after water.

Probably try with some file recovery software, mostly it's not readable because the video/audio frame is out of sync/band so players (and editors) can't play it.

Tried opening with VLC player?

MP4 file recovery can be a bitch at times to put it bluntly.

Is the only one I have found that works well, if the software works on your system at all

To see if it is repairable try this website
http://mp4repair.org/pwt6/preview.html

This is for repairing a damaged file not pulling off a dodgy card.

For cards that wont read / copy use
PhotoRec - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

VLC wouldnt play the file.
thunderous71, I loaded the file on that website and it gave me a 95% repair score and 3 still images. It looks like it can be repaired. However that Grau program only gave me the first 5 minutes footage, it said something about only giving me 50% due to its the free trial lol. Its the last minutes I need haha.

Update: I found an exploit for that Grau program
I have decoded the other 50% but it ends just shy of the incident by 10 seconds lol. Drat!
Thanks for helping lads, good links thunderous71
