hi,
I'm trying to fix, or even just play audio from a few files that are corrupted.
they are from a third party android app, that creates an mp4 file from audio recorded.
another app moves the saved files periodically, and can cause the file to be moved while it is being recorded, hence causing a corrupted file.
i have working files, and i was wondering if there was anyway to fix the corrupt files from the information i know of the working ones?
or even if there is any application that can force it to play?
i've searched the forums and tried suggestions for similar problems, such as....
i've tried a range of players, such as mplayerc that usually play anything, but no joy.
i've tried to convert, but all converters i try cant read the input file.
i've tried the same again for just extracting the aac stream from the mp4 container.
following advice found from someone to fix a corrupt video mp4, i even tried hex-editing the files to try and "finish off" the ends of the file from good files i have, but still nothing!
is there any application that can force them to play? or say, a converter where i can state the type of input file so it knows how to read it?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
i will try and simulate a 'bad' file (without the sensitive content) and upload it, so anyone can have a look.
below is the information i have about the type of file, pulled from a 'good' one.
thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated, this is very important to me.
