Folks,<div><br></div><div>I have a broken .mp4 file on my hands that is critically important to a political thing I&#39;m doing.</div><div><br></div><div>The file is at:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1825088/ScytlBaltimore.mp4">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1825088/ScytlBaltimore.mp4</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve tried using a front-end to ffmeg called &quot;format junkie&quot; to fix this critter and the error it spits out is &quot;moov atom not found&quot;.  This apparently means the data might be there, but the video format structure does exist.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some google-fu led me to this page:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/~ponchio/untrunc.php">http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/~ponchio/untrunc.php</a></div><div><br></div><div>Awesome!  An open-source util that can cope with this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Problems though...</div><div><br></div><div>It needs &quot;libavformat-dev and libavcodec-dev straight from the Ubuntu repositories&quot; and the Quantal that I&#39;m running (latest Ubuntu) can&#39;t load those per Synaptic - not without a lot of dependency hell stuff that might break FSM only knows what.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have a VM copy of Mint 8 that might, but I can&#39;t seem to get Virtualbox to pass it networking so that I could load those and load the build-essentials stuff needed to compile this critter.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Can anybody help by compiling untrunc and then applying it to that data file!?  I&#39;d be very, very grateful :(.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Jim</div>
