Well Its been 2 years since the drive failed and I've kept the files in the vain hope that one day I may be able to recover them. I'd love to recovery these files so badly. Its around 1TB of data from my football season.
After searching for these years, I saw this thread: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/341576-Corrupted-MTS-FILE-problem and it blew my mind how helpful you guys are, so I thought I'd ask.
Here is info from Mediainfo:

And the same from a broken file:

Also, opened in the hex editor there is a lot of data in there, very similar to the working file.
I also tried AVIRepair and this didn't get the file playing but it did something:
